GDT: Canada vs Sweden, Dec 29, 1pm EST

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Honestly if it was the NHL I don't even think that's a penalty.

But IIHF rules I guess 2 is fine.

 

[svartgul]

When did iihf start video reviewing every single action on the ice?

 

[canucksfan]

That’s a tough one

 

[Smif]

Shouldn't even be a penalty

2 mins all day in IIHF.

 

[MM917]

Shouldn't be a major but with IIHF refs who knows they might ban him for life.

 

[notbias]

"Don't turn"... the hit was 100% from behind to start, and Beck tried to curl back which is why it wasn't 100% from behind...

 

[OilersFanatics505]

2 minutes all day.

 

[fahad203]

His hands were literally on the numbers as he pushed him in

He's playing hockey, not ringette. One hand push shouldn't throw you into the boards

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Agreed, I think it is soft and cowardly to hit someone from behind.

Not from behind…

 

[HolyCrap]

Reverse the roles there and the Canadians in this thread would be whining about the Swedish player “not protecting himself” but now apparently that’s worthy of a 5 and game lmao

Most of us are saying it’s a minor penalty.

 

[Alerion]

That's gotta be a major by IIHF standards. To the numbers, head into the boards first.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

gotta call that a 30 and give canada 3 goals too.

 

[RobRayzor]

The thing is that by IIHF rules,even if it’s the cleanest hit in the world,if player seems even a tiny bit injured,they can call a 5min major.

 

[Chainshot]

Hope Beck's okay.

 

[theslatcher]

Swedish & Canadian refs. Swede says no penalty, Canadian says 5+20

 

[lopper]

I know the game is fast paced now, but why do players continue to put themselves in bad positions and why do players continue to push guys from behind into the boards. It seem like this happens almost every game

 

[BTO]

Just call it a draw and move onto the medal round.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Dangerous hit. That distance from the board is nasty.

 

[Czechboy]

In fairness.. in real time it looks nasty as hell.lol In slow mo?

 

[Race Dawg]

100% 5 minutes from behind....

2 minutes for being bigger

 

[Cenzhin]

The refs really have a mime hand gesture for a tv screen indicating review?

Looks similar to what refs in soccer do (VAR: Video Assistant Referee).

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Worthless post. Should be booted for the tournament.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Hockey needs more big hits! Hockey needs more big hits!

Big hit occurs. Fans say toss him out of the game!
