I’m sorry they lost, but this isn’t as obvious as you are claiming. As well, why would the IIHF not want a new team to win? It doesn’t make any sense.
There is no conspiracy here.

No conspiracy, just a ####up. Which they know is a ####up, and don't want to talk about it.
It's the exact situation in the rule I quoted. You are specifically and explicitly allowed to make contact with a goalie also trying to reach the puck in that situation.
Most likely the ref didn't know that's an IIHF rule. It's somewhat different from the NHL rule afaik.
