Phantom Goal Costs Team USA at World Hockey Championship


Screenshot from game
Finland beat Team USA in the World Hockey Championships in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A goal from Team Finaland was counted even though replays showed the puck entered the side of the net.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that after the video review, the "goal" still counted. It's pretty clear to any idiot out there that the puck went through the side of the net. I smell an anti-USA conspiracy because, well, wow.

And don't ask about the music being played in the clip. It's weird as hell, I know, but I must say it does work well with my conspiracy theory.

Finland ended up winning the game 3-to-2. Team USA head coach John Tortorella was, umm, peeved after the game. Can you blame him?
