@@turco41 Tempers flare dude, it's clear as day this was intentional. He got 20 games for it. I really don't know why you've chosen this hill to die on.
I remember back in the 80s I was at a game in Pittsburgh, Penguins vs Rangers, and Ron Duguay took the linesman's skates out from under him, as he skated past, a la the scene in Slapshot. No penalty was called on the play, if memory serves me right.
Referees: do not "see" obvious violations, thereby provoking violence and injury of the players. Also referees: if you grab my hand you will get 5 match suspension
Contact with an official has been an automatic ejection in pretty much every sport, though in baseball it's often _after_ the actual ejection when the contact happens
Exceopt soccer, there the refs are like nobody. Not enforcing any of the rules for violations ahainst them. Seems just they like being grabbed and yelled at
I really don't understand the first clip, even going frame by frame. The best I can think off is something chipped off the stick and hit the ref? It makes no sense, especially with the late reaction and recoiling backward.
Some of these, the refs need to stop holding onto the player as they are trying to leave. But the rest of them..... the NHL has got some weak-sauce penalties getting handed out there. Deliberately punch a ref? Only a 3 or 4 game suspension. Really? 500 dollar fine???
the fact that refs are just treated like cops who you can never back talk or disrespect makes me care a lot less about them getting hurt. If you play the "I get to decide how the game goes" game and you have an advantage that no one else in the rink gets just because of your position, you don't get to cry spilled milk when you get hurt. That's just the name of the game. That's why goalies GET to be untouchable on the ice. They're actually putting skin in the game. I don't care for cops and them being mad that people don't listen to them the first time they "give an order".
You clearly don't know that much about hockey, hockey refs get a load of crap from players this video has simply nit picked the examples of when players have shoved/pushed/touched them which is not okay in any sport. Get your head out of the sand, refs get decide how the game goes because it's their job, not became they are control freaks. One more thing, your claim that they aren't putting anything on the line is simply false, they wear very little protective padding and often get injured all so they can work a job and get not praise or recognition, especially from fools like you.
Well, there it is. The dumbest thing I will read all day. Officials in any sport should absolutely be completely untouchable. You agree to that when you sign up to play.
This might be the most unintelligent comment I have seen in a long time. It's clear you have never played sports and more so don't understand the culture of sports.
Yeah he obviously saw him that call wasn’t great, but buddy was so very clearly out of it there is no way in hell he processed he was hitting a ref. I think he just saw the white and thought it was a Preds jersey in the split second, given the head trauma he had just received. Not that that hit would have been okay no matter who it was, he definitely deserved a suspension and I’m in shock they didn’t call a penalty at the time. That linesman has long lasting injuries from that, IMO the biggest fail was that he was let back in the game afterwards as if he was fine. Either he was fine and brutally attacked an official or he was woozy, either way he shouldn’t have been playing. I get in the moment thinking maybe it was just an accident but they could see the replay and realize that.
Wideman knew exactly what he was doing. How they reduced his suspension defies logic. He should have been kicked out of the league. He’s just dirt bag.
D'Amico was strong as an ox. I played a pick-up hockey game against him and other NHL officials as a budding young teenager and Man were they all strong and in great shape.

How did Kane get suspended for that? They say the players can't touch the refs but the refs can touch the players? The linesman tackled Kane, and he doesn't know what the linesman might do next so Kane should have the right to protect himself. Just saying. Don't attack someone and expect them to not do anything about it. Most of these are nonsense because the officials are the ones initiating the contact. 3:35 "he just shoved the official" I guess they didn't see the official shove him first. 😂
Tell me you dont know anything about officiating without saying you dont know anything about officiating... and also the answer to "the refs can touch players but players cant touch refs" is yes, correct. It has and always will be that way
@@sizzlepopbacon7406So a ref can tackle a player without any repercussions. That is just people abusing there power. Tell me you are a bitch without telling me you are a bitch. 🤡
The announcers on that last one were very generous in saying he doesnt even see the linesman when he aggressively crosschecks him from behind. Probably dazed and thought it was another player but still a dirty hit regardless who it was.
the answer is that Wideman was a complete scum player and while I dont think he was planning on hitting the linesmen, he did nothing to avoid him and instead of skating around the person that was facing the other way he just decided to skate through him and give him a nice cross check too... so tldr, with Wideman's history I wouldn't trust the "i didn't see him" excuse...
Funny how both times its Shandor Alphonso, you know...the black guy, the abuse is WAY uncalled for. Some of these were a little provoked where the ref/linesman was grabbing a bit too long, but Shandor didn't do shit both times. TBH Typical behavior you'd expect form Canadians

“A fan punches him on the head” hockey was some game back in the day
No helmets, less restrictive fighting and hitting, and short boards that any teenager could lean right over. Hockey sure was something then
Exactly! And I bet he didn’t get thrown out either. You can’t bang on the glass without getting talked to
still is outside of the NHL where hockey turned into a sport for pussies

7:08 "He doesn't even see the linesman." Kelly Hrudy with perhaps the worst call in NHL history.
Oh no, you don't do that.
The short glass! The good old days!
The last one is the result of brain trauma. Working on autopilot. Probably didn't even know his name.

1:16 It's the ref's fault, no doubt about it. He bumped into Dustin & threw him out of the game as if he bumped into the ref intentionally.
Oh please as a Jets fan that is 100% Dustin fault. Ref would've skated right past him but he stood out his elbow and turned into the ref

the call against clutterbuck is straight boosh.

2:30 - Happy Gilmore's favorite player. Boston enforcer Terry O'Reilly.
Referees: do not "see" obvious violations, thereby provoking violence and injury of the players.

5 match suspension i think is the funniest thing ive ever heard 🤣🤣, ive never seen a ref provoke anyone

i really shouldn't be watching this right before I go ref beer league games
They say that on a quiet, moonlit night in Calgary, you can still hear the echo of idiotic Flames fans claiming Wideman didn't see the official.
Wow…that first one there was a suspiciously long, diving, type delay in the old head whip…
Fans getting in on fights is wild! 👀
0:17 he did not
Pretty impressive of Wideman to make it all the way to the NHL without seeing linesmen which means he didn't see the puck either in his whole career.
I am an avid Kane hater, but I think I stand with him in this case.
So a ref can push you but you can't push the ref
Linesman is john cena
Do the linesmen ever just box back?
Some of theses penalties are a joke , punches the ref, 10 game suspension and $500 fine. Life time ban, that will sort out assaults on the Refs.
Wait, the ref rips a player to the ice but the player getting up and pushing away from the dude… that’s crossing the line? Ok sure
the fk he saw the linesman!!!
If it is CLEARLY accidental why is there any penalty at all?
Never ever pushed the official in hockey 🏒
I hate cal clutterbuck like you wouldnt believe but I dont think you can say that was on purpose🤣

🏒🤚 Referee touch = 🚫 penalty box time. #HockeyWisdom
7:10,,, Yeah, too funny,,,he doesn't see the linesman.
How the fk can you crosscheck an official and get 20 games? 20? cmon man if its that light a penalty why not do it....smfh
What if the contact is accidental?
Accidental contact with officials is assessed a game misconduct in comparison to a match penalty if it is intentional.
Refs are cowards
Wow
fucking referee !
-Linesmen - "Get your fucking head up!" How about you learn better positioning????
Shit I don’t blame any of these players. Sometimes them refs need put in their place.
Evander Kane was an embarrassment to San Jose. It’s sad when former players say he was not liked off the ice either.

Now adays we call that glazing. 5 years ago we called it simping
He didn't, though.
He just saw an incoming body, and crosschecked it as a kneejerk.
Wideman was concussed at the time.
The old intro returns! Love to see that
That last one with Calgary.... He didn't even see the linesman.
Yeah .... okay
Apparently linesman is john cena.
How that situation was handled is the blackest eye in NHL history imo. The linesman was told to pound sand and got nothing in the end. Tragic.
This video has some editing issues I think 😕
Vids and sounds don't match all the time.
It’s an overlay onto the next clip
“Don’t touch the referee”
*crosschecks the referee* “but I didn’t touch him, my stick did.”
I still do not believe for a second that the Wideman hit was unintentional
No one who doesn't own a Flames Jersey believes it either.
In that last clip. How could that commentator actually say “ he didn’t even see the linesman” He clearly saw him, and purposely hurt him.
Wideman knew exactly what he was doing. How they reduced his suspension defies logic. He should have been kicked out of the league. He’s just dirt bag.
The last hit, the player should be removed permanently from the game, the sport. Done. Gone. Outta here.
Ref's are the OG's on the ice... Hand's off unless you want to get chalked out.
I watched Orr drop a linesman to the ice and get away with it because the referee "didn't see it".
