After having a tying goal disallowed earlier in the second period, Team USA had another wiped off for goaltender interference. This time from Rutger McGroarty (WPG), who bullied Canadian goalie Thomas Milic into the net.
This call should spur much less controversy than the first one. The IIHF rulebook is much stricter on certain rules, and goalie interference is one of them. So, while both of these goals might be more apt to count in the NHL, as the rules are written, it's relatively unsurprising that McGroarty's was called off.
