PGT: WJC Semi Finals: Game 27 | US Advances Over Russia 2-1

[Kudo Shinichi]

no goal

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Miller running around in no mans land.

 

[trick9]

Brutal call.

 

[Pieck]

Really subtle directing of the puck with the skate imo. Good call.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

What's the IIHF rule on this? Does there have to be a kicking motion for it to not count?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Disagree with that call, dumb rule

 

[Machinehead]

We don't deserve it. We'll take it.

 

[SI90]

Wow. We’re lucky. It’s the right call but easily could have been tapped in with a stick.

We need to wake up.

 

[king89]

Canada-USA with the combohelping...

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I dont envy the referees making the decision.

Well that did not take long. No goal.

 

[tictactoe]

o yes this is iihf

 

[SI90]

Cant intentionally direct it in

Thank you!

 

[hockey20000]

wow bs caII… refs in usa pocket I guess IOI

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Right call, although Russia does deserve to be leading

 

[AmericanDream]

wow...he did direct it, but that should still be a goal

 

[AmericanDream]

 

[Thebesthockey]

russian positioning is impressive

 

[kabidjan18]

TSN announcers at least think it's legal.

Looks legal to me. Just bad positioning by the strong side dman and center.

 

[Satan]

christ

 

[Jayan]

Weird call. Was no kicking motion

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Honestly that should be the rule in the NHL too

 

[Erikfromfin]

What!??! How is that not a goal.... must be different iihf rules

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Easy call to make.

 

[SI90]

The Russian kid didn’t even celebrate. That was a dead giveaway.

 

[CLW]

that's a goal oh well

Podkolzin is quality

 

[Blender]

wow...he did direct it, but that should still be a goal

They changed the rule to be more restrictive and vague, so I assume they interpreted that he intentionally directed it, which is all that is required.

It's a pretty stupid rule to begin with, and even worse to go make it more restrictive.

 

[Superlative Soup]

Weird call. Was no kicking motion

Doesn't matter in IIHF
