Tie game late in the 3rd period, Alexi Piastri pokes a puck free and has a clear lane to the Kraken net... and the whistle blows. "Number 17, blue, 2 minutes for tripping"

"Are you f'n kidding me ref?!?" Piastri can't believe it.
"Open your eyes bro, you're completely f'n with the outcome of this game. You forget your glasses at the hotel before you headed out this afternoon?? How much money just hit your bank account from Carolina?"

"You better get your ass to the penalty box before I send you to the locker room instead punk!"

This isn't the first time veteran referee Cleo Green has been berated by a young SMJHL player. Piastri reluctantly starts skating towards the penalty box but not without chirping more at Green.

"You're an amateur Green, Your eyes never were good back in your playing days and they're obviously getting worse with age. These people didn't come here tonight to watch you try to determine who wins the game, they came to watch actually talented players play hockey."

Have to love the SMJHL.
