Hockey Post of the Day 11/4/11: Punching the Ref

[ewilkens]

Who hasn't wanted to jack the official in the face every now and again... Cal Clutterbuck got his chance:

I agree more with the announcers from the Minnesota feed:

He can't see who he's punching, he's just trying to hit LaPierre to stop him from dumping him into the bench. Still, he caught the official with a solid shot right to the face

fighting the refs should become legal, if they make a bad call you should be able to go after them!

I'm surprised players don't shoot at them when they stand behind the net, Longest Yard-style.

I bet Clutterbuck had that ref's number.
