It's crazy how many NHL Mic'd Up videos there are, but there's nothing just for goalies and refs. So I guess I will show some love to them both because they deserve it. Do you want more of these?
I feel for him. Had it happen to me at practice but it popped back in. Didn't hurt going out or back in but couldn't put weight on it or it hurt like a bitch. Swelled to a fucking balloon too.
I can’t get over the fact that Marchand was joking about being called for a penalty. I never expected him to be such a good sport about how dirty he plays
He knows and accept the role he plays, I hate him but I understand the value of his strategy, especially from my time on the ice where I sort of was the teams enforcer, which was weird because I hated fights. There are videos of his mother at the game and she's mic-ed up, screaming at him to behave. it's hilarious.
@@JesusFriedChrist Soccer refs aren't that bad, but they probably have the toughest job among the biggest sports, because it's the most free-flowing game. In baseball, it's very simple: ball or strike, safe or out, in soccer it's wishy-washy, because contact is allowed, too much contact isn't. Between all that, soccer refs will run about 10k per game.
I’m an avid watcher of every major sport in North America with the exception of soccer. The NHL by far has the best referees, especially compared to basketball & football, who are absolutely pathetic. Umpires in baseball just need to go at this point tho, the unions ruin the sport so much since you can’t rid the league of the problem refs
@@Jens95 It was this video ruclips.net/video/1w4b0dOfIkA/видео.html&t=189 But now that videos' been taken down. I think it was an Alyssa Hope mic'd up compilation vid, that are now being taken down and re-uploaded. I'm pretty sure it's Matt Cooke threatening to take Backstrom's teeth out during a Caps/Pens winter classic game and then the ref tells him to shut up. Don't know if any of that is helpful in finding a vid though.
The Sharks and Blues WCF no call on the hand pass last year had me pretty pissed at the refs. Other than that pretty honest mistakes they are human too.
@Puckman637 I don't have to worry about (stupid) kids, and even more stupid parents. I referee the 4th highest division in Sweden (professional), so I have moved past that point.
@@WieselAlbert- yes, it is quite funny about that... the higher up in the grades that you go, the easier it is to umpire the game. You do get the occasional player that wants to make a mountain from a molehill, but, if you have a reputation as a fair umpire, the players generally respect the decision and move on with the game.
I think this is why I love hockey despite living in a non-hockey country + it’s a tropical one. It’s one of the last sports that still have its soul and chill. Like things like these you can’t find it in other sports
At first I thought a guy was actually trying to use the "he's my buddy" excuse but then saw it was Yandle and just knew how much sarcasm was put into that
And in the end it was the whole building that got it wrong. I think it is pretty crazy just how often they get these calls right considering the speed of the game and the size of the puck.
@@Aryon1969 it is funny that you say that. Years (35+) ago, was umpiring at a national carnival that was being recorded for later viewing. The chair umpire made a call, which the spectators were shaking their heads on. About 5 seconds later the spectators started clapping... umpire had made the right call - by about 2.5 cm, at speed!
0:47 was like when a hockey dad's kid gets a bit too aggressive during mini hockey and little johnny has to try to explain why he did it while pretending to not be embarrassed 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

So what we've learned from this is that NHL referees are just babysitters for hothead players.
gotta manage the game
Canadian Dads
Much like every major sport
All the ego in the world, literally some of the best athletes in world, the only consequences they have is the Ref, Police, and their Mamas lmao

it's so cool how chill yet aggressive they are with the players
"Ref, the whole building saw that it hit the glass!"
"Whole building did except us, I guess". What can u say to that?
Also in review it didn't actually hit the glass.
Very Canadian
Straight up iced the man
Nhl refs are the best refs in sports
No question about it.
Debatable.. They are the best but not always 🤣
Nicolas Proulx i mean you just have to look at Wes McCauley
Definitely have to be more athletic
Look up Nigel Owens. He's a rugby ref with a great rapport with the players
"Pretty sure the guy in the nosebleeds vould here it"

Its crazy how involved in the game and the players they are. Very personable. Its not really like that in any other sport.
