Well at least it wasn't just Canada getting hosed by incompetent refs.. look at this garbage call vs. Finland..

The problem is the Euro teams know these IIHF refs are looking to call infractions, even imaginary ones, so the players give them what they are hoping to find.. even if an acting job is required..
The IIHF is even worse for game management than the NHL, if a weak team is playing a skilled team, the bar height is set differently for a penalty.. they keep throwing bones to the weak team in the form of powerplays just to try and keep the game close.. and sometimes you get the single game upset.. like Sweden getting bounced by Finland today.. not so much an upset.. but powerplays played a part.
IIHF refs are crap..
.. and HC management is a close 2nd place.
