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

 team put forward a much better effort against Canada than anyone was expecting, well done girls! After the win over Czechia earlier, could really see them winning bronze

Somewhat predictable result against the Americans...
Good thing Ahola clearly showed why she was our starter.


Now, we need to learn from this when facing against Czechia tonight & Switzerland later. Final preliminary round game against Canada is another story.

[hckošice 16,605]

Spotted some Dutch athletes I guess ?. who rather watch hockey instead of speed skating. That is something else as well

 

[Agger 1,841]

Sweden cruising towards that important 1st place in group B

[Finnator123 342]

Would you look at that, Finland finally has a period without a goal against lol

I just wonder, how much did the norovirus drained energy from our ladies? The hockey looks occasionally a bit too forced 

[Gianlu33 5,974]

Oh well, it’s time for hockey & bed
