Video: Team USA's John Beecher nails Eemil Erholtz from behind

As we all know, the officiating in hockey has been dwindling down for the past few years both internationally and in the NHL. Here's some proof of it.

During the game between the U.S. and Finland got quite rough after American John Beecher absolutely demolished Eemil Erholtz from behind. Beecher received a two-minute minor for hitting from behind, but could have been easily more.

Here's the hit in question:

John Beecher gets two for this hit from behind - easily could have been more. Things are chippy in this one after the early elbow to Jack Drury.
