That was super weird.

I must say, I watched and re-watched that clip more than 10 times and still have no idea how he got there.

what mystery? He was hidden from view by the two dudes who were right next to the camera. That ref could have been the size of a bear and not be seen until he was a foot or two from the players. He was right near the goal on the right a second before he is seen splitting up the players BTW.

I think god put him there.

Where's shinyblurry? We have a miracle!

I don't think he was the referee from the right but another one that came up from behind. If you look closely you can kind of make out movement from behind the players helmet on the left just before he appears.

[redacted]

Wow, that is weird. First there's the zoomed out shot and you can't see him approach during it. Fair enough, he rode up pretty fast I guess.. but the downright creepy part is the camera pans at eye level from about every direction he can approach from and you never see him till the *POOF*

LET THERE BE REF!

That's a linesman, not a ref. He doesn't have an orange armband.

Magic?

Bamf!

HE'S A WITCH!!! BURN HIM!

Way to ruin the magic.

God is a red wings fan? No wonder nobody believes in him.

@swedishfriend - i really don't see what you're saying there. Can't see that in the video. Obviously i'm not saying he DID come from nowhere, but the guy on the right by the goal doesn't look, to me, like the guy who breaks up the fight.

And the reason why he doesn't look like that guy is that you don't see him cross over if he does. Even when i watch the video by pausing over and over, i can't see him. He must have been ducked low to cross without being seen, and then he must overshoot and come in from a wider angle in order to come from where he did. So that's the illusion of it, if it's that guy.

The only logical conclusion is that he transported through space and time from a previous hockey game.

I mean, look at the stunned look on his face - he clearly had no idea who these two strange and different teams are!

I don't get it. I mean really. None of you knew Kane had him in his back pocket? If the Red Wing were not such cheap Aholes they could of had the refs in theirs.

Amazing! 61 upvotes appear out of nowhere, for no reason.

Now for some facts. The man is a linesman not a referee. He is coming to the scene from the blueline on the left of the video which puts him directly in line with Toews (the guy in Red). He is not the referee at the beginning of the vid or the other linesman to the right at the beginning and you can see his helmet approaching from behind Toews at :06. You have to remember how fast hockey is. It takes a linesman less than 2 seconds to skate from his position at the blueline to the net which can seem like he appears out of nowhere. If you video a whole game from this position you could probably edit out 5 or 6 similar scenes.

Was going to point out what @nanrod said. I think he was off camera and was hid discretely by camera movement.

How do you know he is a witch??????????????

I'm amazed that the original poster noticed this awesomeness.

Speak his name three times and the striped one appears.

Canadian I presume? >> ^messenger:

Whose Bs stole what?! The Boston Bruins are among the most Canadian teams in the NHL. Only one team, Edmonton, has fewer non-Canadian players (7) than Boston (10). So, congrats on your Canadians overwhelming the other Canadians. I cheer for the team with the most Canadians on it, which, naturally, is the team that's going to win the Cup anyway. >> ^bmacs27:

You don't seem to understand. We pay the Canadians, and thus they are OURS. All the semantics in the world won't take away our chalice :-).

My little cousin used to be a forward in a Canadian private school. Now he's a marine in AfPak because he wasn't tough enough.

@messenger Besides, it was Timmy from Flint that made that Canadian goalie look the fool.

Sure, our boys don't mind lending a hand. And as most of the team is Canadian, that means during the year, the Cup will spend most of its time in Canada, since every player has the privilege of bring it home. The exception, Bourque (a Canadian), was classy enough to bring it to Boston. >> ^bmacs27:

Luongo did that all by himself.

I was happy he got a cup and all, but it sucks Roy had to get one too. I always hated that guy. Hasek always seemed like the better goalie to me. It wasn't his fault he spent all those years stuck in Buffalo.

He turned me into a newt!

...I got better.>> ^critical_d:
