Russian Hockey vs Japan in Sochi.... I'd be pissed.

I guess this is what happens when you have the Olympics in one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

I think I hear a whistle before the puck crosses the goal line.

I don't know but that slow motion replay doesn't seem to match the actually play in regular motion. The Russian goalie appears to be down for about 1.5 secs before the whistle. It also seems like the sound of the "whistle" is from the song? or from officials whistling again on the background making the slow motion video having no sound.

I do think it's a good goal..

It is no good. Refs got it right.

There is clearly 2 whistles. the first one, the puck is against the russian goalie, and has not crossed the line, the second whistle, yes, the puck is over the line.

You are REALLY grasping at straws to say the whistle is part of the song when it sounds EXACTLY the same as the second one.

And last but not least, it goes against the Olympic Tournament rules to have a referee or judge officiate when they are tied to either country playing to stop bias or one sided officiating.

I am not sure if this part is true or not, but the refs don't even know what games they will officiate until shortly before the event, and it is chosen randomly in an attempt to avoid corruption.

No goal. And as for host nation bias:

Referee
HERTRICH Nicole (GER)
Lineman
CAUGHEY Denise (CAN)
HANRAHAN Alicia (USA)
