Sounds like there's going be some behind the scenes shouting matches after the game about the reffing, regardless of how it ends.

And that is also par for the course in international hockey. i.e.: The Punch-up in Piestany happened because an inferior referee was selected for political reasons.
Also, as a neutral observer, I'm happy with either result. Get to see the home team win, or get to see the underdog win. But please, for the love of god, don't ruin this entire tournament by having the final go to a shootout!
