IIHF admitted the error of the video referee in favor of the Finns

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) admitted a refereeing error after the Finland - USA (3:2) match, which was officiated by Russians Vyacheslav Bulanov and Alexander Polyakov.
It was confirmed that Ville Koistinen's shot hit the side of the net and should not have been counted. Recall that the goal was counted, although the puck went into the net through a hole in the net on the side of the post. The referee who worked with the "Video Goal" system in this match has been suspended from work until the end of the tournament.

Funny story: Ovechkin - "Mozyakin sat on the bench in the match against the Swedes, and they recorded 10 minutes of playing time in his stats. Very funny. Did he play that much on the bench?" =)))

And here is another excerpt from Ovechkin's interview:
- Honestly, I don't understand what is happening at this World Championship...
— Do you mean that last year's Moscow tournament was better organized?
- It's not about that. The referees are the same. And they make the same mistakes, not punishing opponents when they should. I think that at the moment, the referees are deliberately provoking the Russian national team. I'm saying what I see. If it continues like this, it will be difficult for us. There are moments when the referees simply destroy us.
— Maybe because they want to see Canada in first place, and Russia is its main competitor?
- When last year the championship was held in Moscow, no one of the referees was against Canada. And here, the emphasis is on making the Russian national team spend more time in the penalty box.
— For example, in the match against Belarus, Fedorov was hit in the face with a stick. The referee was silent.
- If you take all the controversial moments against our team at this tournament, you can already write a whole book.
— With such refereeing, do we even have a chance to win the World Championship?
- I don't know what will happen next. But at the moment, I see that the referees can do better. No one is asking to artificially help Russia.

After such a statement from the Swedish coach, I am ready to break the Swedish "treasure" of the entire Swedish team.

And I came across this on championat.ru: "By the way, this Murray, after being asked to leave the ice, told the Swedish press that he warned this Russian guy at the face-off: don't lower your head, I'm coming for you..."

I advise everyone to read this article... really, in the future, we need to include a couple of tough guys in the team...

P.S. Dear Belarusian friends, let's stop discussing the correct spelling in this topic... No official changes (maybe for now, of course) have been made in the Russian language on this matter, we can end it here...

Sincerely...
Кто попробовал слезы мака, тот будет плакать всю жизнь...
