Sweden gets an * if they win

 

[theslatcher]

lol sweden saved by the refs on home ice. oh well there not winning gold anyway.

Screwed by the refs to saved by the refs.

Evens out.

 

[kudla]

2 OT goals away from having Czechia, Slovakia and Switzerland in the top 4. Crazy tournament

 

[NyQuil]

Will be enjoyable to see all the ref blamers in this thread now

Not enjoyable as a spectator.

 

[Preposterone]

Wait, are you guys actually bitching about that last call? Some of the earlier ones were bad, but that was absolutely a hook.

 

[Prntscrn]

The hook is clear by Swedish league standards, and I would assume by IIHF rules aswell. Don’t know how it is in NHL and Canadian junior leagues though?

 

[Hinterland]

That's not goalie interference. You can also call the penalty. But if that's your line in OT you have to penalize Sweden earlier for the sticks in Muller's skates.

 

[svartgul]

Coping Canadian tears taste so wonderful.

 

[Goodman68]

Sweden's best players were very clear today. I had no idea that even nowadays it is possible to steal a result like this.

 

[Breakers]

I can agree with that hook

but that penalty looks so bad considering the penalty the called at the end of regulation

 

[TLEH]

Either call nothing or call everything. They didn't do either.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Shame about the reffing.
Great game by Lekkeramaki for the Swedes though.

Coping Canadian tears taste so wonderful.

lol dude shut up yoou got 2 gold medals in 40 years lmao

 

[_vivelequebec_]

Good old hockey game

 

[leafsrdue]

Swiss player got hooked on a partial break just before that last call.

 

[RedHawkDown]

It’s pretty clearly a penalty even if the other calls were bad.

ASP baby

 

[Fearnot]

Must be hard to be a Canadian today when every team you've rooted against won today.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Sweden gets an * if they win

Like every canadian win has

 

[nucks88]

Tough way to lose- lots of parity in the Juniors now ….

 

[chaser17]

Swiss done dirty there but Sweden has the best chance to beat the Americans so I'm happy they won lol

 

[jonas2244]

They did though. Happened already in this tournament.

Ah ok, maybe they changed the rule on that. Would make sense.

 

[hockey20000]

my question is how much is the swedish federation slipping in brown envolopes to make sure they get a gold medal on home ice to the iihf.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Afaik you cannot cancel the call after a review. You're only allowed to go back to a 2min. Makes no sense but it's in the rules.

But they changed a call which you can't do either.

 

[Jukurit]

Swedish team seems mentally fragile. How do they look so shaky and nervous? Home pressure getting to them?

 

[Gsus]

Swiss done dirty there but Sweden has the best chance to beat the Americans so I'm happy they won lol

Don't know how this is relevant since USA is playing Finland at the semis.
