I'm guessing this is in the rule book but it's gotta be a first

Looks to me like it should’ve been a penalty and a penalty shot.

On the broadcast they said by the rule if the Swiss scored on the first penalty shot then the second would be wiped out and turn to a minor but because they missed the first they got the second. Weird play all around.

Yes.

In the end, it didn't matter so... It was fun at the time and Russia was better off.

This call is easy to explain, once you factor in recent cannabis legalization here in Canada.

Well... That's a new.

Huh... Never thought this was possible.
