Really not sure how it was called back. It was completely a shove from behind right on the numbers. Totally understandable that it wasn’t a 5min but no penalty?!?
Borderline call; weird to call back. Also funny watching the Canadian coach trying not to laugh at the ref.
That ref should be fired immediately. Not only is it hitting from behind, it’s clearly boarding, and far from minor.
Edit: Far too many of you do not understand the rules of hockey, and it shows. You’d be in the same position as the ref getting laughed at by the coach for your ignorance.
I know he’s American, but I wish Torts was coaching for that ref interaction.
Canadiens in the crowd thinking this should be 5 minutes are delusional
These guys are ready for the show
Hockey players need to stop turning when contact is coming
Sweden got a shit “hooking” 2min penalty not long after that clearly wasn’t a hooking. Not that it evens out as that boarding was a clear penalty. But at least there was a penalty in some way.
Probably because it was a clean hit. The Canadian made himself vulnerable. It looked like it was a hit from behind initially but, from the other angle the hit was to the shoulder.
I don’t know how this isn’t at least two minutes for boarding.
Called on the noise. I hope the kid is okay. Game wise, no matter. The Canadians weren’t scoring even if the game had gone nine periods.
that should at least be a 2 but i see why it was reversed, not a terrible call
Refs are crap no matter what league and level

It seems like he might have lost consciousness. When he’s on the ice and the Swede pulls his stick out from under his face, his head moves side to side so limply. The way Geekie was calling for the trainer seems like he might have seen it, too.
So any penalty can be reviewed. I thought only major penalties get reviewed. Refs are corrupt. fixed just like the clip of coin toss that hit refs skate in a Selden and usa game.not sure if this year but it was posted ? So sad .
Annoying but Sweeden was the better team all game and this wasn’t the difference maker in that.
Absolutely horrible call. I expect it from the NHL, but in an IIHF tournament where the rules around injuring players is far more strict?
That’s a horrible horrible call.
Boy, I would’ve thought 21 would be a retired number for Sweden.
Definitely not a 5 minute major. But it’s clearly a 2 minute boarding call and should have been called as such. Ref missed the call and it sucks.
It was a great however
What a fucking goof of a ref.
What a fucking joke
Be gentle here folks….I am an Australian ice hockey fan but have zero experience in play and little understanding of the finer points of the rules but I would have thought a 2 handed push in the back resulting in a player going head first into the boards would have been a no brainer penalty – minutes wise I have no idea!
This is the only way we’ll remove turning into the boards from the game is if the players knows he won’t draw a penalty playing the puck in a “defenceless position” at the very last monent so has to brace for impact shoulder to shoulder
Less people will get hurt in the long run as opposed to what’s happening in North America where they are gaming this to get an advantage to play the puck without contact and if they do get hit it is a substantial penalty. Players don’t respect this and keep running each other.
Canada 🇨🇦 got out played.
No penalty here, replay got it right
Not on the head or number, Beck just need to learn when he will get a hit. Swedish player is not doing anything with his arms or hitting Becks head. Its body to hips and shoulders with no pushing. It’s a clean hit that two professional officials reviewed in slow motion to come to this conclusion. Plus Canada got a very cheap hooking call just a minute later. Didn’t have any impact on the game and Beck was thankfully not injured and hopefully learns how to take a hit before he enters NHL. Canadians are just said cause they didn’t have the ref in their pocket this game like they usually do. Accept the loss.
