During the disappointing duel between Canada and the Czech Republic, which just ended with a defeat for the Canadian team, at the World Junior Hockey Championship, we witnessed a scene that is not unanimous.
-
In the second period, Canada's forward Zach Dean made a violent check on the Czech player, and it hurt the Canadian players.
Why? Dean was ejected from the game and given a costly major penalty for "checking to the head".
Many questioned the decision, some even calling it a "soft" call. What do you think?
