rule 80.1
(page 126)

cradling the puck (above the shoulders). Doesn't look like his stick was above his shoulders.
Marine, look at when he lets go of the puck. Watch carefully, he throws the puck over the goal from behind (and below the crossbar). He doesn't lift it over the net and drop it in. He tosses it over and it hits the goalie. His stick goes above the net, but after he lets go of the puck
