Honestly, I have some doubts about the officiating, but that might be because I’m pro-Swiss. It honestly feels like they’re much more lenient with the Canadians — it’s a completely different judging standard. @hckošicewdyt?

I watched only a part of the 1st period and just turned on now 10 minutes of the end of 3rd so I can´t really fairly judge

In my opinion half of these calls shouldn’t even be called as penalties, women should be allowed to hit, but that’s IIHF rules for you 

 

For what it’s worth, even as a Canadian yes I completely agree

In Europe we hand out penalties much more easily
