guilly and jols are correct, the exception was made because of the depth.

for a penalty shot, the attackers must be behind the puck before the gong sounds, and on the surface.... then they can go anywhere. when puck is touched defender can come off the wall, other attacker could be anywhere.

these goals are more often disallowed because the attackers have submerged before the gong, maybe this is what happened guilly?
