I have IIHF Rule book in finnish, if you can read finnish I'll send it. It says only that you can't DISALLOW goal after you have once started game. Not about giving the goal.

That is highly interesting.

Does anybody know where you can find the IIHF rules in English? Not that I don't believe you, Joretus, but I'd like to dig for myself.
 
Only 8 minutes now until Canada wins back-to-back Gold Medals, and Russia settles for back-to-back Silver Medals.

Canada is still winning 4-0!

Russian hockey officials have went to TSN demanding video of the discounted goal. TSN refused. Now Russia is going to the IIHF to seek the videos.

Even if the goal counted, Canada is still up. Canada wasn't even a favorite for this year and here they are in the Gold medal game winning. IMO, the Russians have beaten themselves.

in football, if there is not enough evidence to overturn they don't do it..and they didn't - the corner where the puck goes in for a split second is all dark

No, it was 100% conclusive. No doubt whatsoever it fully crossed the line. They just got screwed by a bad break.

- regardless Canada is pounding Russia - hitting everything that moves, great D zone coverage and forecheck - they are full measure for this lead

This I agree with. Some people are bound to suggest that if that goal goes in, the flow of the game would be completely different and, subsequently, the result. But I don't buy it. After the no-goal, Russia came out flying and played their best hockey of the game. (just like you would anticipate if the score had been 2-1) Canada held the fort during the flurry and came back and scored a hard earned goal. And then another. (and the 4-1 goal would have been as much a backbreaker as the 3-0 goal was)

Unfortunately - for both sides - this game will always be marred by controversy. But Canada is fully deserving to be in the lead and have proven they are as good - if not better - as any team in this tournament.
