60.1. HIGH-STICKING
A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and responsible for their stick. However, a Player is permitted “accidental contact” on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal “windup or follow through” of a “shooting motion”, or “accidental contact” on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a “face-off”. A wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal “windup or follow through” and any contact to an opponent above the height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly. '

So apparently the refs deemed it a wild swing rather than a shooting motion.

I feel like the shots should like 50 to 13.

Canada just isn't shooting, looking for perfect passes and tap ins.

Canada's goaltending has really suspect.

This wording makes it seem like a much worse call. It was definitely a shot attempt but he didn't hit the puck.
What shot attempt? He never had the puck. If you swing at puck then it should be a penalty if you hit the opponent. Only if he actually takes a shot and hits him on the follow through should it be no penalty.
