The controversial camera which played a crucial role in the last two minutes of the Canada - Russia gold medal final at the WJC now has its' own (parody) account on Twitter.
With less than two minutes left and Canada nursing a one-goal lead with Russia already on the power play combined with pulling their goalie, Aidan Dudas of Canada cleared the puck out of play over the glass. The puck hit the TSN camera, which was positioned behind and over the glass. It is believed that the referees interpreted the rules to count the camera as an object above the ice surface and applied this rule.

However, various pundits on Twitter as well as the Russian head coach Valeri Bragin disagreed. Bragin told Sport Express that the refs held a conference and did not give a proper explanation other than saying that hitting the camera results in no penalty. Both Marc Spector of Sportsnet and Bob McKenzie of TSN disagreed.
