Sports officials don’t usually get a chance to show their personality, but every once in a while they find a moment to have some fun at the expense of players, or even fans. That happened in the NHL on Thursday night, when referee Garrett Rank trolled the St. Louis Blues crowd during a game.
Rank was reviewing a Blues goal that was called back due to a high stick, and the replay confirmed that the goal should not be allowed. When announcing it to the crowd, Rank took the opportunity to troll the fans a bit.
“You're not gonna like it but the call on the ice was correct, no goal,” Ranks said.
