its a fine line between incompetence and outright cheating...this is a tough one...cheating as in 1972 basketball or incompetence as in 2012 women's soccer, this hockey ref is a little of both, definitely incompetent and perhaps overwhelmed by the situation. .perhaps an NHL referee should have been used ,luckily the team being cheated won

I watched this game live with some buddies and we were all infuriated by the refereeing in this game. It still upsets me some even to this day whenever it happens to come to mind. The Canadian women were shorthanded for practically half the game it seemed. Who the hell were the IDIOTS that decided to allow a U.S. referee to officiate this game, and why wasn't she replaced after the first period when it became so apparent that she was doing everything she could to help the U.S. team win? Absolutely ludicrous, and hopefully nothing like that will ever be allowed to happen again. Justifiably the Canadian women won in spite of it all. I don't know what happened to that U.S. bitch but I hope she was banned from refereeing ever again. The referee was on the U.S. teams side, but GOD was on the Canadian teams side eh.
