Sliding across the crease does not = delay of game. At least not in the real world.
Well, I don't necessarily believe that the refs could have called the penalty after the fact, but since they had to review when the pegs came loose, they certainly saw the play.
They probably couldn't call the penalty 15 seconds after it happened and after the goal (although the American team may not have touched the puck on the regroup), but usually when refs think that something underhanded happened, they even it up somehow with some sort of makeup call. At the very least, they go and talk to the player involved. It looked to me that after reviewing the play, they didn't have any problem with what Quick had done.

To be fair, if a referee feels a goalie is sliding across the crease and into the post in such a way as to deliberately displace the goal frame they can and likely will call a penalty. Pretty sure it is called Displacing the Goal in international hockey rather than delay of game.
if they had noticed the net was off (and i mean it was just BARELY off) they probably would have penalized him
hehe quick just lost control a bit there he's so imprecise
im happy USA won but that was clearly intentional on Quick's part - im happy russia lost just think it wasnt all that clear cut and massive of a victory they played well
Typical brown.
