NHL Ref Punched In Face During Wild vs. Stars Hockey Game

Minnesota Wild participant Brandon Baddock inadvertently socked a linesman within the face whereas preventing with Dallas Stars winger Jerad Rosburg throughout a preseason recreation … and gotta say, refs bought a chin!

It all went down Thursday evening through the Minnesota Wild’s recreation in opposition to the Stars … Baddock was preventing Rosburg on the ice when linesman CJ Murray tried to interrupt up the scrap.

In the clip, you see Baddock elbow Rosburg, whose jersey was over his face … prompting Murray to separate the 2 gamers.

At that second, Baddock fired a straight proper … and it linked with the referee.

Murray, a former hockey participant (in all probability why he did not crumble to the bottom), ultimately restored order — separating each gamers — and it seems no person was injured.

It was clearly an accident … however, good luck getting a positive name now.
