The Internet is a wonderful place, and one of my favourite things about it are the people the create and share ridiculous content with the world. There are so many talented content boys and girls out there that it can be overwhelming at times, and that’s why I always love when you guys send me cool stuff. Today was one of those days.
If there’s one thing that we’ve all complained about countless times it’s when Connor McDavid gets slashed, held, mugged, or otherwise and doesn’t get a call for it. Sometimes the penalties are so obvious that we’re left to wonder if the refs have some kind of vision problems that prevent them from seeing what’s happening directly in front of them. The examples of missed calls are endless and that’s why I’m very grateful for the genius that decided to put them all together to really put a spotlight on how bad things can be.
Today, a couple of people on Twitter sent me this amazing video that a genius named Excellent Brilliant made which shows all kinds of examples of penalties that should have been called against Connor but weren’t. Some of the clips included are so bad that they actually made me angry all over again.
Check out the video below.
I don’t know who you are, Excellent Brilliant, but today I speak your name. This thing is a masterpiece. Salut.
