“You guys are fast and I’m slow”

“Yep”

[auzmo]

The ref was being nice. He was probably thinking “can you guys not run into me?”

[GoDewyGo]

To his defense. Staying in one place lets them break around him. Trying to move creates infinite angles for him to potentially continue getting caught in the play.

Incredible how calm and nice the ref reacted. If that talk was happening in my homecountry the ref would've probably thrown him some cheeky line hahaha

[shelleyschenk]

That's pretty funny. Love when they're mic'd up 😅

[Limezy_]

He called himself slow so bedard didn’t have to 😂

[Nunyabizness]

Bedard " Can you guys try not to get in the way of my being a super star?" 😂😂😂

[tanishaclark]

The hockey player and the ref were so sweet about this!!!

[jeffbellaire]

Can’t believe he asked the ref to get out of the way! Lol

[trubluduhu]

Nobody talking about how he just goes "What's up" to the kid, that's awesome. Bet the kid is gonna remember that for a long time

[chrism]

I was there tonight, 4 assists and a goal... unreal

[briancharters]

“ Clear the track! Here comes Shack !” Good old days vibe

[Elijahdtrask]

As a USAH ref (Ik this is the NHL so it might be a little different but it might be the same) we’re told to stay in a “golden triangle” it’s from the corner wall on the goal line to the outside hash marks to the goal post we’re told to stay on the edge of that triangle while I think he could’ve been in better position he was technically in the correct position

[cohoanglervancouverwa]

Interesting video. It shows Conor running into the referee (note the orange strip on the jersey) but the subsequent conversation was with the linesman (no orange strip). Two different people.

[bluefreak]

“What’s up”

Gee… he really went out of his way to make it special for that kid!!!

[Izzy._Vlogzz]

Connor genuinely seems like a nice human being. Great player too.

[ajvega]

When Bedsy said you think you can get out of the way a little bit had me rolling on the floor😅

"Tech, you hurt my feelings" - NBA ref

[kflats]

being a ref has to be one of the most tedious jobs in pro sports, especially hockey. i respect how they do what they do

[honestlyidontknow]

He’s so kind to the kid he deserves more credit for that
