  1. Second wasn’t high the kid is 6foot 3’ virus a 5foot 10 or 11 plus he had his head down. They need to revue those rules!! 🤬

  2. Are you kidding…. these officials are future NHL refs…. the more idiotic, the better. Just the way Gary and George want it.

  3. Because tje canadian turned atound at a very fast time and he went down with the head so the german could have not reacted fast enough

  4. Canadian player puts himself in a dumb situation. Turns around just as he's about to get hit. Geekie aims for the head, at least it looks like it.

  5. Another Canadian turns his back when hit? Sensing a pattern here. Stand up and play instead. And don't it people in the head anymore.

  6. The hit from behind was bad but it does all stem from a senseless play by the canadian player as he turned at the last second
    Edit: i watched it live and am canadian but it was mostly the canadian players fault on the hit from behind, the geekie hit was a perfect hit in north America but because he is way taller the the person he hit and there is no head collision tollerince in the IIHF

  7. For once I agree that absolutely should have been 5 on the first one, but the Geekie hit was pretty high and almost elbow to kisser contact. Maybe not worth a game misconduct but definitely a 5

  8. Lesson is….don't turn your back to a checking player. There is nothing that German player could do. Watch it in real time. The canadian put himself in a terrible position last second.

  9. In one the kid is skating forward the other the kid looks away from danger and completely gives his back

  10. Listen if they switched spots and the canadian did the tackle the canadians would say. Nah it was clean whatever but now. When canada got that 5 they talked about in the video the hit was high not in the head but during the hit the canadians hands went up to the head. But on the tackle on the canadian it was nothing to the head except the glass. Clean hit from behind like any other. Just because it looks worse dosen't mean it is not clean.

  11. A side tidbit; there was a Canadian ref when Canada played Sweeden. Even more perplexing why the penalty was erased. I’m convinced that stats will show at least one minor or egregious call or non call will be made every hockey game.

  12. The Canadian with a death wish turned toward the boards. Had he not turned like a moron, he wouldn’t have been pulverized.

  13. I don’t mind just a boarding call, the player did stop up and turn his back, I know he’s gotta let up but I don’t think there was quite enough time for all that to register, the hit to the head could have just been a 4 especially since no injury on the play

  14. Bro there was another one with canada and sweden where they called no penalty because ‘they turned so it wasnt a hit from behind’ but it was a clear head into the boards and so powerful that you could hear the contact from across the arena. That sh!t doesnt happen often. Im telling you, refs are getting blinder and deafer.
