Yup. Assuming the puck is parallel to the ice. If that angle differs, the equation would be
x = d - (h/tan(a))
d = distance appearing over goal line
h = height from ice to puck
a = angle of view measured from ice surface
If x is a positive number, it's a goal.
I think it was a goal, I didn't think they had enough to overturn it. I loved the end result!
