For me they are. Said that before the tournament started. They needed the refs today but they had bad luck as well when hitting iron multiple times.
I have no strong opinion on the call. It was a tough call, no doubt about that. Be it 5 on 5, 2nd period, I would say: A penalty. I a 3 on 3 overtime ... I don't know. Would need to watch the replay several times. The refs were OK for 2 periods but the third became a mess. There were a few clear fouls on both sides they let be, then that ridiculous penalty 2 mins to go. They even called it 5+20 initially (WTF?), then made it 2 mins for slashing (what slashing)? I don't think they would be intentionally pushing Sweden to the SF. But they clearly set some standard in the first two period and then were unable to maintain them in the third. That's always bad and confusing for the players.
Still, I think Dionicio should have avoid that engagement. It couldn't have any other significant impact on the situation on the ice than the risk of taking a penalty. Definitely a strange and a bit bitter ending of the game even for me as a neutral spectator. Such thriller games shouldn't be decided by controversial penalty calls.

home ice is is not giving us any super powers
USA has their best team ever, Czechs was in final last year and just knocked out juggernaut Canada. Finns are finns, they win their share of golds. Sweden is overhyped thats a fact
and when Sweden wins u play the "Sweden cheated card".

This.
It could be Great Britain vs. Kazakhstan and I'd still have the same opinion.
It wasnt illegal. According to rulebook you can be in crease as long as you dont touch the goalie. Which he didnt.

Very nice 3rd period and overtime. I do believe Dionicio's penalty in OT shouldn't have been called, I don't even think in a ''normal/non important game'' it would be a good penalty to call. Considering that, in overtime of an elimination game in the world juniors, it's definitly not a penalty that should have been called.
However, it's a mistake by the refs, not the fault of team Sweden. What is the justification that Sweden cheated? (asking those who believe that)

It's doesn't? Found this in the IIHF rules. It could be wrong but...
Goal Crease Area: Unless the puck is in the goal crease area, a player of the attacking team may not stand in the goal crease. If the puck should enter the net while such conditions prevail, the goal will NOT BE ALLOWED.

Was Edstrom really in the crease? I saw the replay and if he's in the crease it's like 1 milimeter haha
NAh the canadians must have something else to complain about. Thats a good goal 10/10

Yes he was. I don't like the rule so please don't think it's sonething I support. But, his heels were 100% in the crease. Doesn't matter if it's a millimeter or a foot. Either you're in or out....he was in.

Inconclusive and the goalie wasnt disturbed. It is called a good goal 10/10 in todays hockey, But keep thinking that it will get called back.

Your performance in every match thread has been a disgrace if anything. Just moaning about everything.
Congrats to Sweden!

yeah especially he comes with crazy conspiracy theories that Sweden have bought the refs in every tournament, the guy lives 0n Mars and thinks the earth is flat

Like I said I do not agree with it. To me he did not interfere with the goalie. But...the rule I found states Unless the puck is in the goal crease area, a player of the attacking team may not stand in the goal crease. If the puck should enter the net while such conditions prevail, the goal will NOT BE ALLOWED.

We have no plans to stop buying the refs, get ready for another undeserved win.
