It sure looks like he meant to do something. Caught in the moment and gave a "get the F outta my way" to the ref.
I have a really hard time believing that though. He's not a hot head, he's not a goon, and he's played his entire life with the knowledge you don't do that to officials. Ever. I just can't see any player in the NHL ever taking a run at a ref for any reason. This isn't Sunday night beer league where refs get chased out of the arena.....it's the NHL.
I really think it looks worse than it is. Or I'd like to believe that.
