USA has two goals called back by controversial goalie interference calls
There's only been two periods played but the latest instalment of USA vs Canada is already an instant classic!
The US dominated the first period, scoring two quick ones before Canada answered late. The second was full of fast-paced, back and forth action, and some controversy.
After Canada took a 3-2 lead, the US tied it up at 3-3 with just over seven minutes in. Or so they thought, as the goal was called back after a lengthy - and questionable - goalie interference review.
Another instance where IIHF rules is much more strict than most hockey.
Then, in the third period with Canada now leading 4-2, the US had yet another goal reversed after a second goalie interference challenge.
The first one was a bad call and should've been a goal but the second one makes sense to call back. You can't push a goalie's pad into the net to score. Not even in the NHL.
Canada would go in to win 6-2 to advance to the Gold Medal game against Czechia tomorrow. USA will play Fabian Lysell and Team Sweden for Bronze.
