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.

The fact that it was a guy as dirty as Pronger complaining was hilarious.

[@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.

[@relyc9033]

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.

Being Canadian is a prerequisite to becoming a ref

[@b-rye1233]

Refs are the teachers, players are the kindergarteners lol

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.

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.

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

[@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

[@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

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.

[@SolarbearsHC]

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.
