dumb rule, right call

 

[Cardboard Orpik]

I guess that's a legit no goal but man, I feel bad for Russia.

 

[Canucks LB]

Quick is badly over extending.

 

[TheDanceOfMaternity]

There is seriously a US ref for this game?

 

[kmart]

no goal wtf putin forgot to pay the refs

 

[Scrobble]

'murica got extremely lucky

 

[flybynite77]

If the puck had gone across the ice and into the goal would it have been allowed? Was it a 'discretion' call where because the puck squeaked in under the upper crossbar that the net being off the moorings and out of position could have impacted whether it had the clearance or not so that was specifically why it was disallowed?

 

[ChickenBurrito]

Kovalchuk is about to score. Those first two misses were practice shots.

 

[Hockeygod66]

Quick is wild right now

 

[Ewan McGregor*]

OT is gonna be so sick.

there's OT right?

 

[TheStinger]

If the net was off and the team is on the attack, it should be called up straight away, shouldn't it? You are basically using time where it is impossible for the team to score then.

Seems stupid to me.

 

[premadonna]

Kovy's been pounding the back board.

 

[Damisoph]

How did the refs rob Russia of anything? Net was off, stop complaining.

 

[EichHart]

Why is Quick flying across the crease like that? He needs to improve his positioning.

 

[Thunderhead]

Even the NBCSN crew is stupefied as to why the goal was disallowed.

EDIT: Quick accidentally knocked it off. In the NHL, this would have been a good goal.

Not true. They said it was the RIGHT CALL.

 

[bursilym]

russia got robbed. It would make sense if a russian knocked the net off. But it shouldnt be disallowed cuz dumb goalie from oppponent side knocked the net off....

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Kovalchuk forgot how to aim man.

 

[Davebo*]

Wow.. Do they not watch all the camera angles?

Do you not understand the rules? Net was off

 

[GDDevils*]

Another missed shot by Kovy. Its a shame really

 

[SprDaVE]

Quick has the worst positioning that I've ever seen.

He makes a great lateral movement but has no idea where he's going.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Come on, Philly boy, break their hearts with a laser snipe.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Russia should be winning this, what a snipe, what a domination.

 

[CorgisPer60]

imagine if this was a gold medal game

It would still be the correct call.

 

[Skeptikal]

Why are so many people whining about the refs handing the game for calling a rule correctly?
