So then I went to my ECHL team for a goalie, but it was the same situation. I submitted trade offers for a backup, but that takes time for a response. There were no free agent goalies available, and I submitted an offer to a goalie that I had rights to, but the response, again, takes time.

So basically I can't play today's game for lack of a backup goalie. I can't put a skater in the backup slot either (game prevents this). So I'm totally stuck in the game. I can't advance at all.

I remember having something like this happen in EHM, and the game just assigned me a crappy random backup goalie. FHM needs some way to deal with this (rare) situation.
If you just want to continue your game you can change the position of one of your other players to make them a goalie (at least you could in earlier versions). I ran into that when I tried a game in the QMJHL and didn't have any affiliated teams.
