    "Don't do it," yelled the Americans to the referee as he walked back and he did actually waved it off. The Swiss are not pleased.

    Ives Stucki scores with a nice shot through five hole. Again, the goal is under review.
     
    32:38
    Sullivan wanted to go into backhand for finish but lost the ball and accidentally passed it to Kiesel in front of an open net. Kiesel then missed on a great chance.
