Gold Medal controversy

During the final between the United States and Finland, it appeared Finland had won 2–1 in overtime after a game-winning goal to win their first World Championship. However, Finland celebrated on the ice before the Video Goal Judge initiated a video review. The goal was reviewed for over ten minutes and eventually overturned. The IIHF released a press statement the next day citing rules 186 and 183ii as the reasons for overturning the goal. The United States went on to defeat Finland 2–1 in shootout.
