The call is easily one of the worst in recent memory and the Canadian announcers believed that it would be reduced to nothing. The interesting thing is that the referee does not make a call until after the Swedish player protests begging for a call.
While Sweden did not score on their gifted powerplay, they did score in overtime on another powerplay taking down the Swiss.
