the Olympic's team 1 goal was a giveaway goal,too. ruled a goal 3 minutes after it supposedly went in.

3 minutes! That is quicker than the NFL reviews!

To the best of my knowledge, Hockey is the only sport where a goal (or points) can be awarded and the clock reset to the time of the score well after the actual score happened if it is later discovered during play.

I remember one such goal in the NHL several years ago. A player blasted a slapshot at the goal, it hit the boards, and play continued as normal.

Several minutes later play was halted, a goal awarded, and the clock reset.

The puck had actually gone into the goal, but had ripped through the netting, thus hitting the boards and no one realized it when it happened.

This article is not written very well. Is it saying that a team composed of 8-year old boys defeated the US Woman's Hockey Team?

I saw the Women's Olympic Hockey team play the University of Wisconsin a few years ago. I was stunned at the power and speed of the Olympic team, as well as their abilities to shoot and pass. It got to the point where the UW team was cheered if they actually managed to get the puck out of their own defensive end. I can see where they'd give a University men's team a hell of a game.
