Let me get this out of the way first; I know nothing about
ice hockey. Born and bred in sunny Singapore, I know zero about ice hockey. I
also care next to nothing about the Sochi Winter Olympics.
However I have read that Russia recently lost an ice hockey
game to the Americans after a goal by Russia was disallowed. The goal was
disallowed after video evidence and eventually resulted in a 3-2 shootout victory
to the Americans.
Now I have no idea what the “net off the mooring” exactly
means but I have a big question; why was one of the referees in the game an
American?
From what I read, the decision to disallow to potential
winning Russian goal was made by American referee Brad Meier. That makes no
sense. This is the Olympics right? There can’t be a shortage of referees at
Sochi, so why is an American referee in charge of a game where the Americans
are playing?
Is that normal for international ice hockey? Hopefully one
of my readers who know ice hockey can inform me because I can’t understand it
at all. It's so stupid, it's unbelievable.
