Make-up non-call there on the Finland goal, as the Finn had a key Canadian defender in a headlock on the goal, in a super obvious way in front of the net, with no call. Terrible reffing so far, but I’m OK with it sort of evening out there.

There is a quite new rule, that the goal counts if the puck is already making its way across the line in the moment the net is displaced. Plus, if the movement of the net doesn't affect the movement of the puck.

Ok, well, I would anyway believe that as they video reviewed the goal (and there's not some idiot Swede checking the goal - ask John Tortorella what I mean), it has to be the right call.

This similar rule is at least in floorball where the big difference is that game is not stopped when net is dislocated and if ball goes to where goal was _supposed_ to be, that's a goal, so I can believe there is similar rule in ice hockey.

But regardless of the rules, it think it was fair that it was a goal. Post -> leg of goalie -> net. Should count by common sense.

What I wonder here the most is that was that the reason it was challenged, because I really think at least someone from Finnish coaching staff should know the rules.
 
Because the puck itself was going in anyway, and the net being dislodged had no affect on whether or not that puck was going in.
That is NOT the rule if the offensive player displaces the puck.

That rule only matters if defending player displaces the net.

Read the rules again...
