Judge Jeržābeks, who re-entered the Latvian hockey team, has been suspended from judging the world championship.

The appointment of Jerzabek and Peter Staño from Slovakia, who work in the Continental Hockey League (KHL) on a daily basis for our national team in such an important game against Norway, caused negative emotions for many Latvian fans even before the game. True, most match judges should not be charged more than usual, but in the last 25 minutes of regular time, Jerebab and Stano brewed more soap than they should.

It all started with rudeness towards Mikēlis Rēdlihs at the edge of the square. Most hockey connoisseurs say that such a violation would require a 5 + 20 minute rejection or at least 2 + 10 minutes, however, Jerusalem and Stano did not see the attack in the head and neck area, but a normal block and gave only two minutes. In addition, our hockey players did not reach the majority at all, because Miks Indrašis tried to defend the injured teammate and was at the minute for rudeness. In such situations, skilled judges will at least retain an advantage over the team against whom the rules were actually violated.

If at the beginning of the third third the stumbling fixed for Artūrs Kulds is probably assessed by two hockey referees, then the Norwegian striker and Oskars Cibulskis’ pure play against one another and the incomprehensible rejection raise many questions. Especially after these episodes were shown in repetition (besides “Arena Riga” on the big cube).

After realizing their mistakes, hockey referees tend to “give back” a rejection. Jerzabek and Stano had the same opportunity, but they attacked the Norwegian attacker for Matiss Kivleniek’s gloves and did not consider the foot guard to be a violation of the rules. It must be concluded that the judges did not consider that they had erred in the past.

According to the portal Sportacentrs.com, Jeržābek and Staņo have ended this world championship after the match Latvia – Norway. The judging commission has critically assessed the activities of both referees in this game. A little joy for Latvian hockey fans, however, no one will give points in the table, because our men gave in to the Norwegians in the post-match throws, losing two valuable points, which would allow them to be in the top four of subgroup B in the tournament table.

Antonin Jerzabek has once set foot in front of the Latvian way to the quarterfinals of the World Championship. For incomprehensible reasons, he did not include Kaspars Daugaviņš’s goal gain against the home Belarusians, because Gints Meija was in the goal area, although it is clear from the replay that he was not there. The Belarusians made it into the top eight, but our men remained in the beige.

For fans of conspiracy theories, these situations provide a basis for current ideas. Jerusalem works for the KHL on a daily basis, but René Fezel, President of the International Hockey Federation, has been hiding less and less friendly relations with Russian and Belarusian leaders Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko in recent years. In turn, in this world championship, the biggest winners from Latvia’s failures are Kazakh hockey players, whose core team consists of KHL club Nursultan “Baris” players.
