It didn't sound garbled to me. I don't remember the exact wording, but
it was something along the lines of, "unlike in the NHL, if the
Italians put the net in their own empty net [on the delayed penalty],
the goal would not count."
It seemed pretty clear to me that they were trying to say that the goal
would be waved off. Up to the broadcast, I had not heard of a rule
like this. (It is possible that it came across as the announcers
meant, but that they were somehow mis-informed.)
