It wasn't in the crossbar is lined up with the line exactly.

Crossbar is inside the actual goal, post is outside the line. There 2 sepreate things.

Crossbar is usually WHITE and the net lays on it, thats what gives it a sort of hook then goes down. and the post is red, and everyone knows what they are...

You are wrong...posts and the crossbar are both red - the posts are vertical and the crossbar connects the posts horizontally.  When an announcer says, "He hit the crossbar" that is the horizontal bar and is not a goal.  Hitting a post or crossbar does not result in a goal since they are even with the line. The puck only hits the front of the post and/or crossbar and, therefore, could not be a goal.  To be a goal, the puck must be completely past the goal line.

PS I was a goalie so I think I would know.
