In response to Jim's questions:
1) I think the announcers were trying to explain why USA had pulled its
goalie to new viewers. I am not aware of any rule wiping out a goal
had they put the puck in their own net. Perhaps the explanation came
out a little garbled.
2) In the past, goal differential decided finishes up through the medal
round. With single elimination being introduced, shootouts were added
if the ten-minute overtime in medal round games is scoreless. I agree
that shootouts are a poor way to decide medals (it was done at the
Goodwill Games too), and the IIHF deserves a boot to the head for this.
Hopefully it will not come to this.
