CONTROVERSIAL ejection during Bronze Medal game
The United States have officially beat Team Sweden in Overtime 8-7 to win the Bronze medal at this years World Juniors, but as usual, the game did not come without controversy.
We saw quite a few questionable ejections during this tournament, and this one is no different.
Not even midway through the first period, Boston Bruins 2011 first round pick Fabian Lysell, was called for an illegal check to the head, which in IIHF rules, is a game ejection.
You can see that Lysell came from the side and attempted to go shoulder on shoulder with Kenny Connors, but while following through, got a bit of head contact.

Should this have been a 5 minute major?
