Shoulder to the head, yeah go take the rest of the game off.

How is he surprised at the call ? Head shots are not taken lightly

Incoming Canadian homer comments about not understanding IIHF has a stricter rulebook than the NHL.

So annoying to listen to the insanely biased commentators arguing that shouldnât be a penalty. As a Canadian and team Canada fan, itâs annoying and embarrassing
ActionKestrel
5 minutes for being bigger than the other guy. What a joke.
estdfan
100% a penalty. You might argue it should only be 2, and I don’t think it’s malicious intent, just a tall guy hitting a small guy. But it’s clear and forceful head contact, and that’s always a penalty in the IIHF
manhaterxxx
Probably should learn the IIHF rules then
CrashTestMummies
Iâm Canadian and Geekie got what he deserved. That hit passes in the NHL but not in International play
No_Tea_9845
Clean hit đ what is dude smoking
DivClassLg
Canada looks like shit so far
MatureNeuro
He asks wtf for. For the head hit. Thatâs what for. Youâll fit right in in that poor ass franchise that the Yotes are.

If you actually think this is a penalty, you should stop watching hockey immediately.

“wdid” look on him, freaking dunce
SmurfsTwo
Boys gotta keep his head up
Alextryingforgrate
Is the Canadian player 6’5″? What’s he supposed to do? Not uit, crouch down a bunch? Seems a little unfair for him as well.

In the NHL this is a good hit, as I donât think the head contact was intentional or avoidable.
Chicagoblew
Boom. Head shot

Yeah who would have thought leagues outside of the NHL are harsh on hits like that lol

IIRC, this is Morgan Geekieâs younger brother.

International hockey has the softest fuckin rules and always has. Bc Europeans are pussies and canât play with North American teams otherwise

Would have been a beautiful hit if he had avoided the guy’s head. I thought it was an obvious head hit.
AvsFan08
Did just trucked that kid in the head
Ok-Assistant-2684
Prospect to be a goon or actual good player? Because that was a cheap ass hit
FatherFenix
Yeah, canât do that.
I donât think he was headhunting since heâs a tall dude hitting a small dude who leaned down before the hit, but thatâs on Geekie to avoid. IIHF isnât very lenient with those.
Nat_The_Huntsman
I donât know that I agree with the match penalty but ultimately this isnât NHL hockey and they canât keep playing like it is.
These refs have actually been making decent calls, even the German hit from behind later in the game was called correctly because the Canadian player spun toward the boards – just because you donât like it doesnât mean itâs the wrong call lol

Obvious penalty, but holy shit keep your head up kid. Youâre playing against Canada and the first thing you do is stare at your laces while sending a pass up the boards
