Phil Kessel has this to say on the goal: We saw it. It didn’t even go in the net,” American forward Phil Kessel said. “It hit the outside of the net and went through the net. I have no idea what they were looking at but I guess that is how it goes.”
NOTE: The IIHF formally acknowledged after the game that Koistinen's shot had, indeed, entered the side of the net and should not have counted, and the video-goal judge will not be working for the rest of the tournament.
This is brutal, to me there almost needs to be a precedent set like the NBA earlier this season by either removing that goal or making the players refinish the game from that point. After all there is only 2:12 left in the game (they count up in this tourney I believe.)
ReplyDeleteIt's unfair to the sport, the players, and the fans. How can you trust a game when mistakes like this are allowed to just continue
