For a late summer game I didn't have a whole lot of emotional investment in, I feel almost as bad as I did after the Bruins playoff games with such horrific officiating.
I think that's because seeing the reaction of Team USA's young players hurt; they played their hearts out and got robbed.
I'm not blaming the officials - we're talking about hundredths of a second. But why can't these tournaments get with the times? Someone in the front row could have played the replay on their tablet for the refs, so why no instant replay?

Just saw the highlights on TSN. As much as I would love to say the Canadians earned the victory I honestly can't - the Americans were robbed.

This is a made for TSN tournament but even Gord Miller was saying the US got robbed.
Video review came to the NHL after this fiasco in Boston in 1990
Keenan To Ask For Probe Into Ref`s No-goal Call
October 29, 1990|By Mike Kiley
Blackhawks coach Mike Keenan will ask National Hockey League President John Ziegler on Monday to organize an investigation into the goal Keenan says was wrongly disallowed in the closing seconds of the Hawks` 5-4 loss Saturday night in Boston.
Keenan emphasized he doesn`t seek a reversal of the decision by referee Andy vanHellemond. No, he has a larger objective in mind: ``The integrity of the game. The NHL is a laughingstock for this. We don`t have to embarrass our sport.``
Keenan believes this latest incident is further proof the NHL is overdue to install an instant-replay system that would have allowed vanHellemond to see what thousands of viewers did on TV. With the clock inserted on the screen, replays clearly indicate Dirk Graham put the puck in the net for what would have been the tying goal with three seconds remaining
``It was so obvious,`` Keenan said when explaining why he became so irate after the game he charged timekeeper Larry Stafford, who was across the ice from the Hawks, and tried to climb over the glass to get at him.
``Keenan lost his cool,`` charged Bruins General Manager Harry Sinden, angered to hear that Keenan had questioned the abilities of the off-ice officials he had hired.
Keenan responded to Sinden, saying, ``I don`t care what he says. I have every right in the world to say what I feel.
``This league must come of age. This is the 1990s and we have the technology for a mistake like this not to happen. It`s very simple for the referee to check a video and see the goal going in with the clock inset on the screen.

Why wouldn’t they? Money? The broadcast was there. The camera was there for the audience. So stupid!

May not be a good goal but giving up one late like that and putting it in the hands of the officials feels more like choking than being robbed
WTF...
I agree. It’s 2018. This should never happen in a game important enough to be on TV. Assuredly, the tech should have been there to make the right call.
Glad I didn’t watch. When things like this happen, I feel like I wasted time I’ll never have back.

Yeah, it was late. Like, "after the game was over" late.

There was no review but that doesn’t erase the TV replay of it clearly going in after the game was over.
The games in Red Deer where televised so no video review for that pool, therefore no video review for any .

But yesterday in Canada it was. Can't leave it to replay and the refs to bail you out

Lol.... There's really no defending this. Please stop. Clock read 0.0 well before the puck went in the net. Game is over when the clock reads zero, no?

What part of "there is no replay" is escaping your understanding of the situation?

No never seen a game played in Canada ever in person or TV.
And following your literal take on this whole thing you are never to argue a blown call that is not allowed to be reviewed ever again.

You should expect to get that call like I expect to get served first in a crowded habs bar wearing my Bruins jersey
