Brad Marchand gets knocked over by a referee in the middle of a game

We witnessed a very funny moment yesterday, during the game between the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks, when the excellent referee Wes McCauley knocked Brad Marchand in the middle of the game with a solid check.

Of course, the gesture was accidental... although we would like to believe that even the officials don't like the hated Brad Marchand.

All kidding aside, the situation is still hilarious and there was no harm done in connection with the contact either.

Here are the images of the sequence that is all the rage:
