Unhappy linesman tells Burns to retrieve puck



Watch as an unhappy linesman isn’t pleased that Brent Burns knocks the puck back into the Devils zone and then asks the player to go retrieve it.

  1. He knew the ref would tell him to get the puck. Just an extra 30 seconds of rest time to get the PP done.

  2. i dont understand this clip. it looks like burns just left the puck where it was then skated away fom it. but then the clip cuts away for 3 seconds and burns is at the other end of the ice, now with the puck?

  3. Jesus christ. Can it be that hard to find some good refs? Honestly when I play, my refs are way better than this. Lazy Americans these days…

  4. Rule 39.4 (ii) it is a misconduct penalty to knock or shoot the puck out of the reach of an official who is retrieving it. Burns got off easy.

  5. People here are idiots. It's actually a penalty to shoot the puck away from an official when he is trying to get it. Of course the guy was pissed.

  6. I ref Mens hockey and I have done that many times… cause they do it a lot. You would not expect it to happen in an NHL game but the problem is if the player doesn't oblige you have to penalize him… so you better make sure he was really trying to be disrespectful…. and in this case he was… he didn't like the fact that the linesman made the call when typically the ref does. Off sides Icings puck out of bounds and highsticking the puck are all within the Linesmen's job description.
