Referee lost it
As a referee, it is your job to keep the players in line. Often, this can be achieved simply by talking to the players, explaining the situation, and calming everyone down. However, every now and then, even the officials lose their temper. And, in fact, that’s exactly what happened on Sunday.
”Don’t even!”
Twelve minutes into the second period, Denmark forward Joachim Blichfeld was given a two-minute penalty for hooking Carl Grundstrom. When the referee saw Blichfeld turn around toward him, he shut him down immediately.
“Don’t even! I’m not listening to it! Get outta here, go to the box!” he was heard shouting.
Next up, Sweden will play Czechia, and Denmark will face Canada.
