Team USA's Head Coach Calls Out Officials After Canada vs USA Elimination Game
Team Canada trailed Team USA 2-0 at the start of Wednesday night's "Winner goes to the Finals" match, but they swiftly turned things around and scored six unanswered goals to claim a 6-2 victory. Some goal s that took place were, to put it mildly, controversial. Team USA's head coach, Rand Pecknold, expressed his frustration during post-game interviews after two of their goals were disallowed due to goaltender interference.
"I would say I'm pretty frustrated at the two disallowed goals. I'm not going to comment on officiating other than you've got 18 or 19-year-old kids in this environment and you had two taken away. That's a huge part of the game, for sure," said Pecknold following the loss.
"I'm not going to comment on the officials - the head of officials can deal with that one."

The two goals shown below were both disallowed, one of them was quite the obvious goaltender interference violation but the other one was very questionable.
