How did the refs "miss" the two very obvious high sticks? Come on.

The first one was a follow-through on a backhand. That's not a penalty. The second one was a bit tough to see without the benefit of replay.

The Foote 5+20 penalty was clearly was a wrong call. However, then there were 2 clear high sticking fouls by Canada which the refs missed. The refs are simply bad on both sides.

Literally every second shift there is a player rolling around on the ice crying, and usually the refs buy it. I don't even wanna watch this
Agreed, the refs lead us to this behavior by calling things that arent penalties and rewarding the cowardly act of rolling around on the ice. This isnt soccer.

These refs simply do not know the rules. I saw them call a double minor for high sticking on a follow through of a shot. Thats not a penalty. Its incredible how bad these refs have been in every facet.

A follow through on a shot isn't a high stick.

This Slovakian team is actually worse than Kazakhstan. I honestly believe Kazakhstan would win a rematch. They had some kind of a structure in their game plan at least.
Sweden will be the only team from their group to play the semifinals.

iirc, in IIHF play, a high stick on a follow through is still a penalty, which differs from the NHL rule

Maybe not impressed with the post embellishment. Patient is flatlined after the high stick, puck comes to him and he’s resurrected briefly to take a shot on net then sadly fall backs into a terminal coma after taking the shot
