The European Trophy final was some kind of wonderful, probably. The biggest story coming out of Germany, though, was the luck on a referee's side when a player's skate came up in a scrum and did not cut him.

The referee panicked like any real human being would and was checked out by trainers. He didn't appear to be bleeding, maybe a close shave was on his Christmas list.
