Canada should have been complaining about the ref as well. Starts with a bogus "high sticking" and a blatant head shot.

 

Ya, no kidding eh! What's with that.

 

They call a slashing penalty on Canada for chopping at the goaly, but it was the USA defenceman who chopped his own goaly in the head.. :wallbash:

Definate head shot too. Refing was brutal.

 

High paced, hard hitting game, the way hockey should be played.

 

Ah yes,North American style. Exactly what I was saying.Nice to see hockey played the way it was meant to be. :thumbsup_anim:

 

And yes,if it werent for Campbell,great piece of goaltending.

The Swedes were PISSED at the referreeing after the Russia game.

 

The IIHF rules, and officiating are and always have been random.

Phantom calls, and Bias are HUGE issues....but the norm.

 

For what they consider a slash....we could see 60+ minutes in Penalties if they kept is consistant.

I honestly think they use the slashing calls when they need to even things up.

 

Another thing...

I think alot of pressure to make calls come from somewhere "upstairs"

Anyone else notice the Kassian hit was not a penalty at all....until someone from "upstairs" called the time keeper.

 

Its sad that this kinda poor officiating and inconsitent enforcement has not been addressed in a stonger manner.

Because it really can be a major factor in a close game.

Lets just hope for a good, clean officiated Game tommorrow.

Did you notice that the commentary guys had one rule first"hit to the head" then it was a "hit to the head or neck" then it was a "hit to the head,the neck or even the way they hit thier head on the ice"

 

You nailed that one cookslav.
