The goal isn't even the worst call of this tournament. I refer you to the missed goal in the Japan vs Russia game.
and if she said she blew the whistle after the puck went into the net then what? apparently replays can't be used to tell when the whistle was blown, so her call on the ice (good goal) has to stand. and there is nothing that can be done or said that can change the facts of that sequence of events (in her mind).

There's kvetching, then there's an obvious bush-level call. That one cannot be defended by anyone. It's just not possible.
because we have evidence of when she blew the whistle, we can say with certainty that she did not blow the whistle as the result of the puck going into the net, but as the result of deeming the play dead by virtue of goalie freeze or losing sight of the puck. this is one of the rare times that we can actually get inside someone's head because the evidence is irrefutable.
i don't recall her calling a goal on the ice, she made no call before the attempted review. but that's actually irrelevant. she flat out committed a cardinal sin of reffing and there is no refuting it.
every one is right, she did lose site of the puck. she was in front of the american goalie (puck was behind the goalie). she blew the whistle, all the canadian players started to cheer, ref gets closer to the net finds puck in the back of the net. yup as a human being adding 1 and 1 together thats a goal on the ice.
you and your fancy replays can say differently, but this human being who has to decide things in a split second made her mind of what the facts were on the ice and everything pointed to good goal.
so you can read her mind? you know what she seen and what she thought at that moment? i want your powers, because it would make life so much easier knowing what other people see and what they thought.
this ref was ****** if she called it a goal, and she was ****** if she didn't call it a goal..
In this case, yes we can effectively read her mind in regards to this. Because blowing the whistle is a voluntary action, we can see with certainty she blew the whistle before the puck entered the net. Due to reaction times, etc. that means she intended the play to be dead about a half second before, which is when the puck was between the goalie and the defenseman. In other words, she blew the play dead because the goalie froze the puck. Whether or not the goalie actually had the puck is irrelevant, as we have seen in literally almost every NHL game.
This is why this is so egregious, the evidence is so clear that we absolutely know she blew it and felt pressured to reverse herself, and did, which refs should never, ever do.
no, she would have been correct to call it not a goal, but she is ****ed because she changed her mind.

Just saw canadas 2nd goal for the first time, have no idea how that was allowed.
I agree. Once the whistle blows, the play should be dead.
No the correct call is a goal. Just because the puck went under the goalies pads and the ref 'lost sight' of the puck doesn't mean the whistle should have blown, otherwise any puck going through the five hole should be blown dead because sight is lost. The puck wasn't frozen and then let go the puck continued to move under the goalie and into the net...it was a good goal.
Game is rigged, is this a canadian ref?, Canada paid the ref, 0:04 seconds of too many girl on the ice is why canada is winning, should be 7-0 usa, they should give 10 pp to usa to finish the game..
Am I doing it right?
I am watching the game on DVR. The Canadians had 7 skaters, none of them near the bench, for way more than 4 seconds.
