  goalposts, the Referee may award a goal. In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must
  have been displaced by the actions of a defending player, the attacking player must have an
  imminent scoring opportunity prior to the goal post being displaced, and it must be determined that
  the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts.”
