Say what you want about NHL referees, but one thing you can’t argue is that they’re tough as nails. Referee Tim Peel took a puck up high late in Saturday night’s game between the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks.
Peel was down for a few minutes. After a brief, on-ice evaluation by the Kings’ medical staff, Peel was cleared to continue. He finished up the game, which ended as a 3-2 Ducks shootout win.
Peel has Sunday off, but he’s probably spending the day with a bag of ice on that right shoulder.
