Bad Day for the Judge

Team USA’s loss to Finland yesterday has produced a hailstorm of criticism for the officials based on a goal scored by Finland that led to their late rally.  For anyone who hasn’t seen the controversial non-goal—which was reviewed by the video judge and still declared a goal—it can be seen on the video below. 

Both teams agree it was a major error, as can be seen in the post-game reaction on this TSN clip.

Update 10:23am May 13: From The Chronicle Herald,

The video goal judge was dismissed by the International Ice Hockey Federation after the botched call. The IIHF acknowledged the goal “should not have counted” on its website and stated the goal judge will “not be working for the rest of the tournament.”

“It’s a mistake,” Esche said. “The guy made a mistake and you have to live with it.”

U.S. head coach John Tortorella wasn’t as forgiving on Monday.

“Did they sack him? They should,” Tortorella said. “I don’t know how they handled it but as far as dismissing him, yes I support it.

East German Ref?

Definitely the worst call that my brain is able to recall on a Monday.  I’m not sure if their video link didn’t work and they couldn’t see the replay or what.  Maybe the refs dialed the wrong number and got the Toronto war room instead?

everything goes pass “Red Light” Robert Esche. im surprised flyers still let him have their logo on his goalie mask.

This news just in… the NHL has hired the guy to be the lead video reviewer in the war room in Toronto to allow Colon Campbell to spend more time on determining suspensions.
