Click in the video from 2:02:25 of the match. Hong Kong player shoot the puck and missed the net by some 2 meters, but then for some reason all her team mates started to celebrate like she scored or so, totally forgetting that the game was not stopped and suddenly had all to skate quickly back to their zone

 

Also 2:04:50 after the match the HKG players confounded everyone including the opponent and all referees standing on the line and watching for the flag (were waiting for the national anthem) but forget that prior of that there always the Best player of match awarding and the referee had to help a bit the HKG player to notice that she was selected

 

and @dcro nice to hear your anthem in womens hockey back after a couple of missed years, and very nice interpretation from your girls
