Yes, this particular game is France v Netherlands.
And yes, when done by accident, I don't think there are many players playing who purposefully play the puck with their glove.
First game at the tournament our goalie got 6 minutes (3x 2 minutes) for small stick infringements. No warnings were given, and I think when we counted the minutes we got after that game we ended up around 26 minutes in the bin in total. The Netherlands paid the price for the physical hockey that is accepted in the competition in NL - what you get away with at home was not tolerated in Calgary.
On the plus side though, it was a fantastic tourmament to play in as a forward, since the opposition were scared to foul you.
That is all a little beside the point, with the video I just wanted to check whether others interpreted the move shown the same way I do - basically that the attacker is barging, or leading with his shoulder.
