[@lauram4340]

Agreed. He was the best.

[@MightyMuffins]

"There's one thing I could never do is play in this league, I wasn't good enough. I know one thing for sure is you can't referee in this league." FUCKING SAVAGE! Refs don't put up any bullsh*t! XD

[@MM-qi5mk]

Love that. Both sides are true professionals and are excellent at what they do

[@82dupont]

i think wes is then only ref who has been drafted in the NHL. i think his career was ended due to injuries by he made it the NHL tho.

[@bpeezy2254]

Why?

[@SonicSlicer]

Absolutely. You never think that a ref could be entertaining, Wes is the exception.

[@ItsAlkey]

“It’s rule something point something”.. relatable from all the hockey officials.. we know the rules by heart, but we’re not gonna tell you the page numbers 😂

[@henleytolan2952]

To me, hockey is a sport learned, not taught. Everyone knows the rules from play, not from the book XD (Don't be pedantic, I know the refs have to read the rules to get the obscure ones.)

[@relyc9033]

The best quote of all time is officially "You're hollerin' to some guy about spankin'. This is hockey."

[@JoesGreatIdea]

Thank you for these videos! This is the best damn sport in the world. I could watch 8 hours of this. The NHL should offer an optional R-rated broadcast so we can hear all the refs/players throughout the games. I would pay double for that premium subscription.

[@YayIsfam]

I disagree its 1 thing if the player was rude. He only asked a question rules state he cant argue but they can ask questions

[@donny_chang]

@@austinviau4892 and the ref can tell him to fuck off. They don't have to answer any questions.

[@austinviau4892]

Right but he had zero reason to take away the penalty he told the player to leave and he did it was abuse of power at that point

[@donny_chang]

@@austinviau4892 He was going to give the guy on buffalo a 2 minute minor for unsportsmanlike. Valid penalty

[@austinviau4892]

No its not. Its in the rules players can ask they are not allowed to argie. The letter justifies arguing not asking its a false penalty and he pulled the penalty and the game continued 5 on 5.

[@evahanson7681]

We get so heated during games and I know we blame the refs alot, but this makes me love them so much! Thank you!

[@CrownMeBob]

I’m a lacrosse referee and man if I could skate, would definitely make the switch. These dudes don’t take crap and the NHL backs them up. We need more videos of refs mic’d up!!

​@@Jens95 I'd love to see a Best of Kelly Sutherland after I read the story in The Athletic today that players voted him best ref

0:19.."Ok, let's go. Get lost. We got a whistle." Love it

[@b-rye1233]

Points at them both…”Let go! Right now, let go! Let go!”…and they both let go. Didn’t even have to touch em. Bill McCreary is like the father and the players are his kids. They all know not to question his authority 😎

[@stevenrandall8300]

Being Canadian is a prerequisite to becoming a ref

[@nightsgrow6575]

“I know big fella” 😂

[@StonedSpagooter]

I really wish we could hear them on the ice man it would make the fan experience so much more enjoyable

[@bradsimpson8724]

Jesus, you'd have way too many armchair experts critiquing every whistle blown. It'd be pandemonium.

Yeah, but that would never work because of all the stuff they say

I love these videos Jen95. Refs micd is always a good time and I like a good time. I watch most of the major sports and in my opinion it seems the NHL Players and Refs have the best working relationships. Am I wrong ? I’m only a few years into hockey

[@MM-qi5mk]

Puckman637 , thank you for the insight.

[@blmebro9940]

Another great one is rugby union - treating each other with respect is a huge part of the game, and the refs take no shit.

[@bpeezy2254]

@Puckman637 Lots of respect between all parties involved except for Torrey Krug.

[@iwilltrytotry]

i had no idea that literally every ref was a canadian dad!

[@Ceyx000]

As physical a sport (brutal?) As hockey is, the Refs are 100% looking out for the Player's safety. They are courteous, respectful, and can make a 6'7" 250lb man cry.

[@wesleyswank1527]

“I’m sorry for yelling…” When you start the discipline but then realize you’ve got the wrong tone for the situation, so you apologize and take it down a notch…

I love old school hockey he doesn’t have an A he can’t be disrespectful lol I love it

[@bigdrew565]

Actually, that ref was a rookie. Got called up as an emergency fill in from the ahl. Can't remember who he was, but there was a documentary on tsn about him. Think Bill McCreary was in it, as well.

[@johnschool]

thanks for the work jens your a beaut

[@dealy9268]

That’d be cool if they made the refs in the nhl game actually interact and chat with you lol , eh?

[@JeRrYxVaNcE]

I like how he calls the goalies big fella lol it seems they are big but they are normal sized right?

[@drsch]

Hey Ovi, you can hit all night just don't leave your feet. You left your feet. Huh, why would Ovi change now? He's built a career on leaving his feet to hit.

[@kidbanzz6260]

Player just argue with the refs

[@smokesletsgo2374]

[@user-lx6rk8sh9d]

Screw the Lil cute players talking. Refs barking and showing fans what they yell about. The interaction between stripes and players on tv could be cool

[@mikeking1948]

Good vidyo there eh?

[@alexburky9124]

the call on grier there was unnecessary. sabres rotated captain between briere and drury that year and the A between grier and 2 others (escapes me who) just because it’s not on his sweater that game doesn’t mean he had to be treated like that.

[@opshan4269]

Yeah that made me uncomfortable

[@Ronythethird]

No Hit League??

[@SonicSlicer]

Aw, I love that last clip, I'm always saying to my sister as we watch games...if the guy doesn't have a C or and A on the sweater, he needs to STFU and move on.

[@darthollpheist1156]

I wish my men's league refs would watch this. They are all like "unless you're the captain, don't talk to... 10 minutes for unsportsmanlike". Player - "I just said that it wasn't off-sides". Ref - "That's a game". Luckily I'm the captain, but they still yell at me if I ask a question. I got a "high sticking" call with the puck on my sick a few seasons back. Not joking. And, they didn't blow the whistle under 4 or 5 seconds later when I was about to score. Maybe they are alike. Both are blatantly biased. NHL refs do the bidding of the league. They are told who they are supposed to give an edge to. And they do. Like, the Flyers were supposed to lose last night. They didn't. So next game, the Flyers are going to have to try and kill off a whole game's worth of penalties they didn't commit.

[@Markus-zb5zd]

well, these refs are usually a lot harder because it's no pro league the pro leagues weaken a lot of these rules for the sole purpose of entertainment sometimes these weakened rules or guidelines make it to the international hockey rules, like the icing that can be chased

[@darthollpheist1156]

@@Markus-zb5zd It doesn't change how blatantly bias they are.

[@NYR264]

yoooo Grier threatened with a 2 and a 10 for asking ref a simple question with no 'A', meanwhile Pronger got a full explanation (and was more confrontational) with no letter either... not saying its something to look into but it sure don't look good in my opinion

[@donny_chang]

Prongs was a veteran leader with like 15 years in the league at that point. Who tf is Grier to do the same?

[@bpeezy2254]

@@donny_chang Judging by the Sabres banana slug uniforms, Mike Grier had about a decade of service in the league at that point. The letter earning you the right to talk to an official during a stoppage is antiquated and selectively enforced, at best. Technically, the referee was right with threatening Grier with a misconduct in that situation, it's just never called anymore.

[@anthonypazzano]

Racial discrimination. It's blatantly obvious, there's not much to "look into" there, but it's also the NHL (and most of the sports world, sadly).

[@Markus-zb5zd]

@@bpeezy2254 it also depends a lot on the game situation, how the players behave in general and so on, the 2+10 can be nice to cool down a heated game and to put an end to discussions, I usually handle it that way: if there's time and a player wants an explanation, yeah I can do that if a player wants to discuss a decision, warning, last warning, 2+10

[@bpeezy2254]

@@Markus-zb5zd Exactly, well stated and well explained. How often are 10s handed out in late game situations just to curb any histrionics? People inferring literally anything from a 15-second clip where we don't know the score, time, or game history is patently ridiculous.
