Those rare moments when the entire arena abruptly goes dead silent, like all the air and life in the building was sucked out, such a mix of awe and anxiety
The one and only thing that the NHL does better than any other league in any other sport in the world is medical response. So many individuals on the ice should no longer be with us numerous times over through the years and yet still only one has. That's impressive and worth celebrating.
@@AJEDDY97 Yup. It's just not as fast in so many other leagues. I don't doubt for a second that guys like Cherepanov, Zholtok, maybe even Johnson might still be here if their incidents happened in the NHL.
Oh stfu. I guess according to you there should never be a car accident in the world either. Moron........ You're the only liability here@@derpdiggler7413
Can we just put the collision to one side for a moment and just acknowledge how classy the game is that we all love. A great show of respect from both teams, with out refs the game would cease to run. We all know officiating in any sport is tough but to be on the ice with these guys at full speed and flying pucks (and fists!)
This happened so fast that nobody knows what exactly happened behind the play, Hayden’s cut and the referee is out cold, this is beyond scary to me 😱 a very unfortunate accident.
If the video was 2 minutes longer it would have showed exactly what happened. I'm sure someone else will have the full scene, she probably just wanted to get it you asap
PIT trainer comes out immediately before the ref a even get there. Goes straight to the ref on the ice. Mainly b/c they know he has no padding like the hockey player. Credit.
Wow. Hope he's okay. Kinda similar to the Damar Hamlin incident, where the camera coverage stayed far away to give him his privacy as they worked on him.
Tampa bay just seems to not watch where they are going. The other day Stamkos ran into their own player and their teammate went after the Canadiens defenseman thinking it was him in the Montreal game
I saw a father and young daughter wearing Charlestown Chiefs Hockey jerseys in front row. Greatest hockey movie ever and I have my Chiefs jersey in blue as well. lol. I'm sorry I just thought that was funny to see that. I hope the official will be ok. Best sport ever. I was actually watching this game on tv but had to leave and missed the hit. @1:22 appx.
Every NHL building has an emergency medical facility and staff as well as ambulances standing by in case of emergency surgery. Home team is also responsible for providing the emergency goalie to the visiting team if they lose both to injury in the same game.
Not only the medical part is better than other sports but also the entertainment factor. It's faster paced it's also physical and they let them fight. Don't get me started on how boring baseball is. All the other sports are so slow compared to hockey
Yeah no shit. The player who hit him was down for a few minutes aswell. So of the player who wears protective gear is down that long, the refs got it a lot worse
No refs are supposed to just stay to the side they often rotate from side to side when the official closest to the play has to switch sides to avoid the play or get a better angle and you’re right this isn’t the nfl the officials in the NHL are athletes and they train as such this was just an unfortunate accident on both parts
So I ref hockey, at a much lower level of course, high school... but I'm sure it's the same at most levels. As a ref you should NEVER be skating at center ice during the game other than dropping the puck. We are taught to skate between the face off dots and boards. When you don't, this is what can happen.
Idk what system yall use where you play but the system they use in the NHL is quite different than in minor leagues. In Alberta we've only just started working with 4 officials for bantam AAA and above. The biggest difference with that, I'm sure you know is that the high referee tends to hang out at or just toward the middle of the ice from the offside dot, as they must be ready to switch the side of the ice they are on to counter their other referee escaping behind the net. From what it looks like to me, the high ref that got hit appeared to be on the board side, and thus had to cross to counter his partner whether the partner stayed or not. Also not helping his situation is that the puck changed possession just before the hit, meaning the back ref needed to pivot, further bringing him into the middle and blinding him to the player behind him. From how we run our 4 official crews out here even up to Mig AAA, Junior B, and AJHL, he didn't really do anything out of the ordinary for the system. Just wrong place wrong time. I do think the system itself deserves looking at, especially at NHL level since the low ref escapes behind the net WAY more often than I was ever taught to tho.
There's probably a dozen cameras in there at minimum but they somehow didn't catch how the collision actually occurred It's so weird, he's not in the middle of the ice and has no reason to be then suddenly is laid out. EDIT: Kozari turns his entire body and keeps his head turned way knowing that Fleury was on his right, and then proceeds to skate right into him while refusing the basic human instinct to look in the direction he is skating. Just because he got the worst of the collision doesn't men he isn't fully responsible.
I mean, I'm no NHL ref, but I have to assume they need to keep themselves in a position to see as much of the ice as possible. It was blindside, by both player and ref. High speed, both paying attention to the puck, not the direction they're going in. Just a tragic accident.
@@ripelcannonthere are two other officials, so he needs to be in a position where he get's blind-sided because he needs to see as much of the ice as possible? Sounds like he just sucks at his job and was somewhere he didn't need to be.
Good he deserves it, he knew Fleury was to his right and then skates right toward him with his head turned. He literally resisted the instinct to glance in the direction he was skating because he knew he could stage a "negligent collision" and would be treated like the victim for taking the most damage due to having less pads, it's straight up sociopathic. Here's Kozari having a little power trip slip out on hot-mic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0aTv6lwRCJQ.html He is incompetent, shady, and threat to player safety and needs to be fired
As much as I hate on refs, being an nhl ref is the hardest officiating job in professional sports. If you make a bad call, everyone's on you. You do a good job you did what your paid for. Hope he is going to be okay. Did not look good
What the hell was the Tampa player looking at? He's skating forward in the direction towards the referee with lots of time to change his direction. What the hell was he looking at going forward? Shouldn't be surprised. It's Tampa Bay. They do this stuff all the time. Only difference is it's usually two other teams.
It seems the players felt OBLIGATED to approach the ref as he was being rolled out of the ice. Like, "We better pretend that we care cause it might play against us in the future". ..lol
As much as I'm very annoyed with the way the ref's are not doing the job that they are supposed to be doing, no one wants to see something like this happen. I hope it's not so serious as it appears to be, and the ref will be back healthy, on the ice again soon.
For as much crap the fans give to Refs (some of it well deserved), nobody wants to see them get hurt. Both benches clearing to salute the ref as he's stretchered off the ice. Hockey is physical, but it isn't a bloodlust sport.
he was probably trying to interfere with line change and got what was coming to him, only explanation for why he just wandered into center ice for no reason
