Even though the ref had poor positioning, it's not really their job to "get out of the way". Players have to be aware of them as much as opposing players.
Can someone explain to me how this rule works? Cause I'm sure this refs intent wasn't to get in the way...it happens and I'm sure no one would have thought anything had he waved to goal off. But where in the rule book does it say he has to wave it off??
most of us would do a better job. nhl refs are nearly as bad as NBA refs; even mlb umps are better, as are nfl refs. so basically nhl refs are the 2nd worst, to the nba haha
@quezcatol are you fucking serious, this is 100% the refs fault. if there two skaters skating towards you you get to the boards, you dont jump in front them. dumbass
this was TOTAL bs. i thought refs were taught the most important thing was to stay out of the way! wow. that was disgusting... thanks dafoomie, i want to watch this wheneve i want to break something. :)
the bruins had some momentum at this point, and although a comeback was unlikely, this ruined it completely. wideman shouldve blasted through him and fought the mandatory suspension...
GO BRUINS
...this sums up how the refs have gone against the bruins of late really tbh... ughhh
the bruins have come back from down 3 before with under 10 minutes; this season no less. The Bruins had the momentum at this point since their goal, so anything is possible. You cearly did not watch the game and are just looking at the score... what a fan you are, I can tell.
one that know's the sens wouldnt give up a lead like that. rarely and i was bussing to school getting ready for my exams and getting the radio station on at the same time so i can listen to the game while doing my exams...so i did the best i could not skipping school.
The Bruins are a good team probably getting the cup before next decade but this game was better played by the sens you can have bad games and i guarantee boston getting the next game back.
haha I know i watched the game... I said 10 minutes because I do believe under 10 minutes includes under 1.5 minutes; and this game was around the 10 minute mark when this ref fucked up, despite the clueless quezcatol's "ignorant-of-life" statement somehow defending the ref...
yeah the ref started skating to that side, saw the linesman there and realized he should be on the other side of the ice. its not like it changed the game or anything, the B's pretty much sucked. WHERE'S THE KOVALCHUK TRADE, CHIARELLI??
Yeah its possible, but I really think that this is a way for the players to draw more money out of their NHL teams. They know the NHL is desperate for audiences, so the KHL offers higher salaries to the players (who would never play there otherwise) and the players are acting like they are interested so they can get more money to stay in the NHL.

This is absolutely the refs fault. There's a reason you don't see referees following the play down the middle of the ice, and you just witnessed why.

it isnt the refs fault, he is supposed to stand where he was, and 99% the defender would have NOT turned into his own side like a fucking retard.

on a referee course they said that refs shall be seen as like a dead object, in any cases of situations like this, we refs says like:
"it´s not our fault to be in the way";)
and I am actually on the referee´s side, cause he dont know if the will go to the left or right =)
