Sibir vs Metallurg Game 4 controversy
In the fourth game of Sibir — Metallurg series, on 37th minute a scored goal was confirmed after the episode when a player of Sibir, while leaving the ice during substitution, made physical contact with a player of Metallurg when the substituting player of Sibir was already on the ice (violation of clause (b) of rule 411 of the Hockey Game Rules for 2015/2016).[3][4]
In the overtime the game-winning goal scored by Metallurg was confirmed after the episode when Metallurg started their substitution in violation of clause (a) item 1 of rule 411 of the Hockey Game Rules for 2015/2016 (the player to be substituted is on the ice outside the substitution area), however the league's Officiating Department chose to explain the officials action by another clause of rule 411 (player involved in a substitution being hit by the puck), leaving the violation of clause (a) unexplained.[4][5]
In response to an appeal filed by Sibir demanding the cancellation of the game result, according to Sibir GM Kirill Fastovsky, the KHL noted "there was no refereeing error".[6]
According to the KHL, this demand of Sibir about the cancellation of the game result "could not be considered as an appeal" because "the appeal procedure was not strictly followed" by Sibir (mandatory note in the official game sheet by the club representative after the end of the game about their intention to appeal against the game result, followed by filing the appeal within 24 hours along with required supporting evidence). The message from the KHL also referenced Clause 77 of the KHL Sports Regulations and noted the impossibility to accept for consideration appeals based on complaints to refereeing.[7]
