I can't believe I measured this but I was curious. I'm 6'1" and in skates my belly button is 47" - 48" from the ground standing up straight. Take away a few inches for bent knees, spread apart feet and being bent over.

I can't possibly comprehend how the puck didn't make contact above the crossbar. The NHL blew it. Again.
