If you play stupid games, you’re going to eventually win stupid prizes. I can’t think of a better way to sum up this situation.
What the hell was this dude thinking? You can’t hit a ref and expect to hang around. Did he think he was Juwan Howard or something?

Hockey is a violent sport, but that doesn’t mean you get to haul and hit the refs. That’s never going to be allowed, and you’re kidding yourself if you think different.
Let us know in the comments what you think of this situation.
