At a crucial moment in Wednesday's semi-final game against Team Canada, Team USA had a goal taken off the board to goaltender interference, and the internet is split over it.
USA forward Jackson Blake (son of Jason Blake) planted himself in the net front, in the crease for a couple seconds, picking up a rebound and burying it past Thomas Milic. After a thorough review, the officials determined it was goalie interference:

Blake's tally would have tied the game for the Americans, who earlier surrendered three unanswered goals to blow an early two-goal lead. Shortly after the disallowed goal, Team Canada took a two-goal lead, thanks to forward Joshua Roy (MTL).
The disallowed goal sucked the wind out of the sails of the Americans, who were left with a difficult situation against a stacked Team Canada.
Did the officials get this call right or should Blake's goal have counted?
