Hilarious ref call of a penalty

[kurtcobang]

Just an all around awesome thread

Good stuff - thanks for gifs.

If the refs can bring added entertainment to the game, that's great. Get the calls right first and foremost. If you do that, and can announce it with flair, all the better.

 

[MikeK]

LOL. That was totally awesome. Love it.

To be honest, I could do without this. Referees should be seen and not heard.

It's a bit sad when the game now relies on grandstanding by officials to provide more entertainment than the sport on the ice.

it was very nice of your grandson to teach you how to post online

 

[Russian Factor]

he is a bit of a dweeb for this but it's still great. Wonder if his other ref buddies tease him about it lol

 

[MXD]

Sure, but did he have to upstage Andrew Shaw's heroics?

Haawww.... 'Lil bro strikes again.

Wes McCauley is a generational referee.

I really liked this. I can't even really say why. It just made me laugh and made me happy.

 

[hatterson]

I seem to recall the official being a bit dramatic with a fighting call in the Sabres/Ducks game Thursday night, but was at the arena so couldn't really replay it. Dunno who it was.

Saw it live. Made me chuckle.

Get with Western society - it's clearly not a focal point of my expectation. This is funny because it was an unexpected action by the referee.

The NHL isn't turning their refs into stand-up comedians

 

[BlueDream]

Lol at the people complaining about this. Society these days is so fun...

This ref is awesome.

 

[pie19]

He sounds like Rex Kwon Do.

I was thinking exactly the same. "Bow to your sensei!"

 

[kingsholygrail]

We need more refs like this.

If you buy Wes McCauleys book you'll have the strength of a grizzly, the reflexes of a puma and the wisdom of a man.

Yet.

 

[Joe Sakic]

He has done this a few times before too.

Hilarious absolutely every single time.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

utter cringe

 

[Frosty415]

Yep. Wes McCauley.

I remember this, so amazing.

 

[Martinez]

Lol that ref has a good time. Good for him

 

[CDJ]

I love Wes

Don't say that about a lot of officials in any sport

 

[snipes]

Love this guy. Kind of reminds me of the "giving him the business" ref from the NFL way back when.
