Dressed in a bow tie and sporting sunglasses, the assistant coach walked onto the ice using a hockey stick to imitate a walking stick as a means of commentating on the night’s officiating. The fans loved it — the officiating staff did not.

Clark paced around the rink like a blind man tapping his stick on the ice and got tossed from the game. At that point, the Wild (28-7-4 overall) had given up their second goal of the game to the Brown Bears while shorthanded.

The home team was understandably frustrated, but became considerably more upset after the bench received a misconduct immediately after scoring a game-tying goal with 11 minutes in the final period.

“I don’t know what he (the referee) could have heard from center ice with 3,500 screaming,” Clark said.

Clark was ejected from the game, as was head coach Bliss Littler. Perhaps they were blind to the repercussions of their actions ...

Congrats to Chris Clark for the single greatest referee protest ... well, ever.

Reminds me of that organist that played "3 Blind Mice" at a minor league baseball game and got ejected.
