Video of Finland's Non-Goal Vs. USA

Finland and the US played yesterday in the IIHF World Championships and one of the more interesting highlights to come out of the game was a non-goal that Finland scored through the side of the net. (The come from behind win by Finland and large fight at the end of the game was also interesting.)

What is most amusing about the goal, scored by Ville Koistinen, is not that it went through the side of the net, but rather that it was actually reviewed by the refs and allowed to stand.

You be the judge:


If you said "No", then you are in agreement with the IIHF who acknowledged this following the game. They also dismissed the goal judge in question for the rest of the tournament. I'm not even going to consider what the reaction would have been if this had happened in the Stanley Cup Playoffs...
