Nope, not at an IIHF-sanctioned tournament apparently...

yes they could have. They didn't know. It was the video judge that called down but since play had resumed the ref had to make the desision to allow it or let it go. That's what he told the coaches.

if this was the NHL then there'd be no question cause as soon as play resumes it done with but not for IIHF it's upto the ref.

Who didn't know? The coaches? The refs? That would seem bizzare, esp. given the fact that the Russians were (quite rightly) screaming blue murder and the ref just merrily says "no goal" and the play goes on. No this one smells like a screw up by the ref, who is now trying to cover his arse...
