My situation:
I'm a goalie, the other team had a delayed penalty coming up against them. I skated to our bench for the extra guy when the ref's arm went up.

When I got within 5-10 feet of the bench, a guy jumped over the boards for the extra attacker... the thing is the defensemen at the gate closer to the net was watching the play and didn't open the gate.

Someone on the team said it should be just blown dead...
