The Finland player obviously clashes with the American goalkeeper, but the goal interference applies when the goalkeeper is inside the area. To judge that, I would need to know the rules properly.

 

IIHF statement about the situation..

 

 

Quote

Two IIHF Playing Rules were considered in this instance:
 
-According to IIHF Playing Rule 186 v. Goaltender and Goal/Goal Crease Disallowed: An attacking skater who makes contact other than incidental with a goaltender who is out of his goal crease during game action will be assessed a minor penalty for interference. If a goal is scored at this time, it will not count.
 
-According to IIHF Playing Rule 183 ii. Protection of a Goaltender: Incidental contact is allowed when the goaltender is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease, provided the attacking skater makes a reasonable effort to minimize or avoid such contact.
 
Taking these two rules into consideration, the IIHF Video Goal Judge Operations determined that the goal must be disallowed.

 

 

At first view I don´t see any interest of the FIN player to make a contact with the goalie, who had literally only a part of her foot in the crease...this is just too strict reading of the rules IMO, this would be a good goal in 1 of 100 other matches...

 

but well, sometimes the rules works for some and sometimes not...this reminds me of this, when suddenly there were no problem to allow the goal

Maybe not the best topic, but I wanted to tell this story. You read the scores correct, the matches ended with 91-1 and 0-95, both winning teams tried to achieve better goal difference than the other. There is a suspect of cheating.
