Quick whistle

I agree. Ref was way too fast with the whistle.

@@Shmerpy Upon further investigation, in the NHL the whistle can be deemed to be blown at the point when the ref had the intent to blow it, not when we hear it blown. I imagine that rule applies in this case. Any time the goalie has the puck covered, to avoid injury the refs I believe (not a written rule) are told to blow it quickly. In this case the Swedish player whacked at the puck and the goalie when it was out of sight to the ref, but when we heard the whistle we could see the puck as the goalie seemed to accidently release it or the whack released it. The "intent to blow" rule would be invoked and the goal would be disallowed. We are blaming the ref but she seemed to do everything according to protocol.

Yes, it was an obvious blunder, I don't think anyone would argue otherwise.

@@steelcom5976 At no point was the puck ever covered or controlled by the goalie. Yes, the play is considered dead when the ref intends to blow the whistle, but that doesn't change the fact it was a mistake.

It's okay. We as Canadians will forgive fans for being passionate about hockey 😅 🇸🇪 ❤

what happened in the 3rd was due to the Swedish team having lost hope of winning they would have kept it if their second goal was allowed

@@perjohansson2865 I follow Major Junior hockey in Canada and there are lots of times one team is down 2, 3, 4, 5 goals but they give up hope. I have seen many of those games where the losing team comes back and wins the game. Sweden had lots of time left in the game to come back. You need to play a whole 60 minutes no matter what is going on. If you give up you have no chance.

ok but if you don't see an opportunity to come back then

you are wrong the swede did what she had to do against a team that is a bunch of cheaters who have never played in an honest way

you are wrong there

@@perjohansson2865 Stick to goalie mask (head). Not allowed.

that's what happens in the heat of battle

@@perjohansson2865 You're right. Goal called back. Come on Johann, you can do better than that.

They always call softer for European teams, when its Canada vs USA they let more hitting go.

DONE

If your so pessimistic why even watch it and btw youve won bronze and silver on more than 1 occasion

it's been many years since we did that

@@perjohansson2865 doesnt mean its impossible to do again

ok but when will it happen

@@perjohansson2865 idk cant predict the future

quick whistle by ref who thought goalie had it covered

@@djr7rain Everybody says quick whistle but the whistle did not sound because of a loose puck. If you look at the video carefully, you will see the ref put whistle to mouth right after the goalie was whacked in the mask. That requires a stoppage every time. You cannot take your stick and whack a any player but esp the goalie in the face mask.

@@steelcom5976 2 things. 1. the player did not take take a whack at the goalie at all, the player literally shot the puck at the goalie and her follow through is what made contact with the goalie. 2. it seems much more likely the ref made a quick whistle because they couldn't see the puck and thought the goalie had it. nothing difinitive that would make the goalie blow the whistle just cuz a follow through of a shot hit her.

@@djr7rain Yes it was the follow-through. It doesn't matter why a player's stick hits the mask, only that it happened, which you admitted to. The ref immediately raised her whistle to call the play dead after the 2nd attempt (of 3), and the fact that the puck was loose was irrelevant.Those are the rules. You can propose a rule change to the Board of Governors. Until then, we're stuck with the rules that are on the books. Read them.

@@steelcom5976 lol ok dude I'm just going off what I see. I don't know the rule book in and out. no need to be a prick about it.

commentators are not horrible

@@djr7rain yes they are

@@demjay how exactly are commentators horrible....

I'm Canadian and it's should have been a good goal. Bad call.

Sweden still would of lost, they were getting out played heavily.

@@lAmCanad1an that will only happen when you Canadians cheat as you usually do by having a Canadian referee in the match

the swedish team would win because that laid the foundation for a victory at the previous world cup

@@perjohansson2865 lol no.

Anyone playing would care. You play your guts out and then get robbed of a goal that could affect the whole momentum of the game. I’m Canadian but recognize a bad call when I see it. Sweden has some amazing young players. As the game grows the rest of the world is getting better. Keep growing Sweden and ignore the naysayers! You gave us a good game. I look forward to more in the future!

2023's who there took Sweden to overtime it could have been the same now
