But that shot they aired of the enhanced "blown-up image" was a little misleading. That frame- yeah, there was no separation. But you go one more frame forward and blow it up, while the clock is still at 0.1, and you can argue there IS separation, and you can see the white between the puck and the goal line. However, Hiller's blocker is blocking the entire puck from being seen.

Still surprised that it was ruled no-goal, especially so quickly. Burke is gonna lose his ish if the USA lose this one. Probably will go ballistic anyways.
But the camera is at an angle, so even if you see a bit of white it could be attributed to the angle the camera is at. That's why the red line is visible in the first place; the cross-bar should be covering it if it were a straight up and down shot.
