I agree, I don't think the ref selection ( if anything they will be overly cautious ) will make a difference, the teams will decide the outcome. So far I have not noticed much regarding the refereeing in games that I have watched ( men or women's ), and that's a good thing

A quote from one of the officials:

“The main factor of the selection of these officials has most of all to do with their experience officiating in high-level competitions,” IIHF officiating manager Konstantin Komissarov said Saturday in a release. “These include Stanley Cup playoffs, world championship competitions and Olympic competitions.”
