Shoulder to the head, yeah go take the rest of the game off.

How is he surprised at the call ? Head shots are not taken lightly

So annoying to listen to the insanely biased commentators arguing that shouldn’t be a penalty. As a Canadian and team Canada fan, it’s annoying and embarrassing

100% a penalty. You might argue it should only be 2, and I don’t think it’s malicious intent, just a tall guy hitting a small guy. But it’s clear and forceful head contact, and that’s always a penalty in the IIHF
manhaterxxx
Probably should learn the IIHF rules then

I’m Canadian and Geekie got what he deserved. That hit passes in the NHL but not in International play
DivClassLg
Canada looks like shit so far

« wdid » look on him, freaking dunce

Boys gotta keep his head up
Alextryingforgrate
Is the Canadian player 6’5″? What’s he supposed to do? Not uit, crouch down a bunch? Seems a little unfair for him as well.
Chicagoblew
Boom. Head shot
CrunkestTuna
WHAT FOR?!?
dude just fucking own it

I believe reading his lips he says “I’m so very sorry” I’m no expert but stayed at a holiday inn

Yeah who would have thought leagues outside of the NHL are harsh on hits like that lol
LarquaviousBlackmon
Would have been a beautiful hit if he had avoided the guy’s head. I thought it was an obvious head hit.
FatherFenix
Yeah, can’t do that.
I don’t think he was headhunting since he’s a tall dude hitting a small dude who leaned down before the hit, but that’s on Geekie to avoid. IIHF isn’t very lenient with those.

I don’t know that I agree with the match penalty but ultimately this isn’t NHL hockey and they can’t keep playing like it is.
These refs have actually been making decent calls, even the German hit from behind later in the game was called correctly because the Canadian player spun toward the boards – just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s the wrong call lol

Just realized oddjob would be cheap even using him as an nhl 24 character but for totally different reasons
seoulbandit84
What a moron

“Expelled”. He’s allowed to come back to Canada.

This isn’t the 90s, you just can’t be a reckless dickhead anymore

Clean hit? What a joke. Principal point of contact is the head. Come on.
At3key
Just a bigger player hitting a smaller player, I get why they called that but its a clean hit.
scribbybaby
Thats illegal hit yet the sweden one and the germany one that happened today wasnt? Cmon cuh, i get its international rules but let the kids play man, Geekie was trying to amp up the team, it was a clean hard hit, we need more of that in hockey, everything is a stupid penalty now
Free-Supermarket-516
Yup, can’t just drive your shoulder into somebody’s head
LivingMisery
Clean hit to the head is still a hit to the head.
gabbyspapadaddy
100% hit direct to the head. Do that in the NHL and you get to answer the bell
Polly9er
Dirty hit!
Odd_Weekend1217
Garbage hit.
ajslinger
Geekie is a goon. He slewfooted a player in previous game. Probably referee retribution for it.

“Wtf for??!!!🤬🤬🤬” he says 🤣🤣🤣
Garbage hit to the head.
I love the announcers on tsn.
“Thats a clean hit anywhere in North America”
That has to be some kind of record.
