Was Canada's first goal against Finland good or not?

[Maple Leaf]

Canada still wins the game with or without the goal.

Superior hockey nation.

Canada is the best 100%

Where is this third goal confirmed?
The footage i've seen does not support that, alltough it was very very close.
Kummola has always been biased in almost every statement or decision he's made.
So his opinion is not evidence for me.

Haven’t seen or heard anything from Kummola. And to be honest, I don’t even know who he is.

It was confirmed last night during the game if you watched the replay from the camera above the goal. It was in by maybe 0,5 cm, but that counts as well.

Didn't we lose last year? Doesn't sound like the best to me.

Penalty/penalty shot for Finland cause of that Canadian player saving the goal with hand?

Why is that a penalty? You need to close your hand on the puck for it to be a penalty shot. Batting it away is perfectly ok, and happens every now and then. Even a hand pass is not a penalty.

Foote made a great play. It was the highlight of the night.

Nope, that call actually caused the 2-0 goal too (Välimäki's frustration penalty). But whatever helps you to sleep at night, the game should've ended 2-2.

Whoa i see I'm in the giant minority..
I said good goal since isn't 'as long as the pegs are in place, the net is allowed to raise' still a thing?

The moorings seemed to still be in place as the puck crosses, so i thought it was a good goal.... This has probably been addressed dozens of times already in the 9 pages... I only voted/saw the result and posted...
so my apologizes for likely being redundant.

lol Whatever helps you sleep at night? I think that applies to you only. Because you're the one blaming Finlands lost on this deserved goal because you can't handle Finland losing.

It wasn't a good goal, even IIHF apologized our team for that and said the issue will be addressed.

Yeah, I'm blaming that goal. I can handle Finland losing fair and square, the game wasn't that and you would be preaching the exact same thing if the call went against Canada. That obviously will never happen in this sport.

It just did.

It didnt cause any second goal, the guy didn't have to go batshit crazy and get his team a penalty because of it. That is his decision to lose it. If he wants to throw a child tantrum it is all on him and nobody else.

Finland lost, they were the lesser team. You had 6 freaking powerplays to Canadas 2, you were given every opportunity to win and couldnt do it.

Take the loss like a man....................not like valimaki.

It did cause that second goal.. Hell, we've seen similar stunts even in NHL level, when players feel like treated wrongly.

This thread isnt; Who's better? Finland or Canada.

This thread is about: Was Canada's first goal a good goal? So let's talk about that.

(And i'm also saying Canada were better team, but that's not relevant here)

 

[Snauen]

Nothing ever changes in international hockey. Canada always whit a head start/handicap in imortant games, whit one or two goals, given to them by refs and "street smart"-Canadian players, knowing they have the refs in their pockets, plays the game accordingly.- If cheating is succesfull, just continue whit it! (Canadian elite-hockey players and coaches mental-mind set)

 

[jasonr90]

Voted no yesterday morning and haven't changed my opinion. But it is what it is now. The Finns better be good and over it and beat Denmark today

 

[Loffer]

WTF you are still debating about that blatant non-goal goal It was a joke of "goal" and nothing changes that. Also, the fact that Finland's controversial goal was denied later in the game only adds to the farce. Anyway, shit happens. Let's move on.

 

[g00n]

Keep it legit. No personal attacks or fanbase bashing.

"Deserved goal"?

I don't think anyone on Canada's roster feels like they deserved that goal. More likely they feel they got away with one.

Terrible call by the officials.

Deserved as in, if the game was played in the NHL the goal would have counted. Deserved as in the net coming off its moorings had no impact whatsoever on the puck going in. The only thing that stood in Canada's way was an out dated rule that needs to be changed. The Fins are lucky they even have something to complain about.

That's a thing in the NHL, not IIHF.

Not that it would apply here anyway - you can see from top down freeze frame that at a point the puck has not yet entirely left the red line, there is visible white ice between the far post and the black circular hole it normally rests in. (there's even more space on the side Katchouk hit, but his glove is obscuring the direct line of sight for the top down camera ).

I did not think this argument would still be happening, but here we are.

Yep, it's sad.

It was the wrong call. The game is over.

Thankfully, it happened now and not in a medal round game.

Nope, but player making contact with goalies pad had impact with it.. So it would not have been a goal anywhere..

 

[FinPanda]

This is still going?

 

[jbobell98]

I watched the replay several times from multiple angles and the Canadian player doesnt touch the Fins pad. He lifts his leg. If anything he skims or barely grazes the top of the pad. So nice try hahahahah lmao

 

[LeafChief]

"Was Canada's first goal against Finland good or not".

Answer: Yes

Furthermore, had it not counted, Canada would have simply scored again and again and again. Get over it.
