Amazing Hockey Play Video | Tripping? You’ve Got to Be Kidding
This video shows one of the most amazing hockey plays, and one of the most ridiculous referee calls all at once.
Minnesota Wild forward Marian Gaborik gets a breakaway, but Wings goaltender Dominik Hasek isn’t about to let him get close to the goal.
Hasek puts his head down and blocks Gaborik, sending him flying through the air! You know that’s got to hurt!
The worst part is that instead of earning the praise he deserves, Hasek earns a tripping penalty for his trouble. Tripping? Really? To say this call is questionable is an understatement, but at least he stopped the goal!
