 Following the game , the Canadians complained that Josef Kompalla and Franz Baader , the German referees of the match ( the same ones who refereed a controversial Canada @-@ Sweden game ) , were biased , since Canada was handed 31 minutes in penalties during the game , while the Soviets only received four minutes . Phil Esposito complained that one goal by the Soviets was directly the result of the referee dropping the puck while he was talking to a team @-@ mate . The Canadians gave the pair the nickname of " Badder and Worse . "
