Mixed Response To NHL Canning Referee After Being Mic’ed Up And Reportedly Talking About Wanting To Penalize A Team
Now, beyond the, “that was a bad call, ref!”, there’s also the “oh, that was a make-up call” fans get upset about.

Is this a thing? Well, we now have some (slight) proof. Audio straight from a NHL referee who was supposedly mic’ed up in a recent Nashville Predators, Detroit Red Wings game.
