HIGHLIGHTS

 

 

[hckošice 14,790]

Another prove about the very bad refereeing in the match SVK-DEN. this guy wasn´t even penalized in the match after his liquidating hit, and we didn´t played a power play after this crime. The guy even smiled impatiently in the bench after his attack  the guy is ready for some mental institution...

 

anyway the disciplinary panel of the championship yesterday determined that his act(s) was intentional and dangerous. well done even if only 1 game suspension is very weak punishment imo

 

 

Danish player suspended

Mathiasen-Weise to miss one game

 

Danish captain Christian Mathiasen-Weise has been suspended for one game due to an infraction in the last game against Slovakia.

 

With 98 seconds left in regulation time in the teams’ last preliminary-round game, Mathiasen-Wejse checked Slovak player Erik Smolka to the head.

 

Smolka skated around the Danish net trying to get the puck and push it towards the goal when Mathiasen-Wejse hit him to the head with his shoulder. Smolka fell to the ice and had to be helped to the dressing room.

 

Based on the clip and the player’s statement, the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship Disciplinary Panel determined that the player changed his skating direction in the last moment to deliver a check to Smolka, who was in a vulnerable position because the puck was not near him. Instead of letting his opponent pass by, the player lunged toward his head and caught him up high without warning, which is an infraction of IIHF Rule 124 (Checking to the head or neck).

 

Considering the remaining time of the game and the score of 5-1 for Slovakia, the action was both unnecessary and dangerous, and recklessly put the health of the opponent at risk.

 

Therefore Mathias-Weise was assessed a one-game suspension, specifically for Denmark’s upcoming game on 2nd January 2018 in the relegation round against Belarus.

yeah...nice game...the Czech guys did show some character...they came from behind twice (the decider with just 2-something minutes on the clock) and in the shootout their goalie was just better than Finland's (the second goal he allowed...a really soft one, between his legs )...

 

p.s. now Canada are just destroying Switzerland...

hope it won't end up in something too humiliating for my Swiss neighbours...

Belarus leading against Denmark 4-3 some 33 seconds to go...and the match ended 4-5 for the Danes ! You must love the Juniors hockey

What about the Swiss coach saying that his team will be destroyed by the Canadians before the match
