HOCKEY SPOILER - USA VS RUSSIA
Just finished watching team USA 'win' their game vs Russia in Men's hockey. Was a fantastic game but i really hate shootouts in any sport. It's just such an absurd way to determine a game, especially in hockey.
I though Russia outplayed team USA. They got screwed by a rule that applies to International comp. and had what would have been the game winning goal waved off. It was the correct call by the officials, but the rule is ridiculous and didn't affect the goal at all.
Great game, but kind of ruined a bit by the stupid shootout.

That's IF they saw it off the pegs. If they did, it would have been stopped. And how long was the net off the pegs before the goal? It could have been seconds before. Plus, if the game was stopped, that means the play would have been reset to a faceoff. Team Russia would not have gotten off that same shot from the same location after a reset.
Ok, it seems the net was knocked off well before the goal was scored. In this case, it was an error by the officials. I don't think they purposely let play continue, it was just something they missed. Officials miss calls in every game.
