Blues Forward T.J. Oshie gets taken out by NHL referee (Video)

Found February 04, 2012 on Holdout Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: T.J. Oshie
TEAMS: St. Louis Blues

In the first period of last night's NHL game in St. Louis, Blues forward T.J. Oshie ran straight into the back of one of the referees. Oshie went down so hard that it made the accidental collision look like a blindside hit by the ref. Oshie was chasing the puck and was so focused on it that he couldn't see the referee. Hopefully he'll be more careful. As we've seen before, those NHL referees can hit pretty hard without meaning to - just ask Flyers forward Kimmo Timmonen. Video via NHL Network. H/T Puck Daddy.
