Does a goal in hockey count if the puck is inside the goalie's glove?

Do you mean a situation where it crosses the line, then he grabs it. In which case if it found the back of the net (or sides I should say) or slid over the line, THEN was in the glove, it would most likely count. If the puck is still doing its thing, airborne but over the line, and the goalie gloves it, it doesn’t count. If it flew over the line, then hit the net, or landed on the ice behind the line then the goalie covered up, it would be a goal. Meaning the puck goes flying at the net, the goalie reaches out and grabs it. That would be the complete opposite of a goal. And a puck through the side of the net doesn’t count…unless you “scored” on the Sabres.
