When you're on the radio, you always assume the mic is on. This now-former NHL referee apparently didn't know that rule.
Tim Peele, who used to be an NHL referee, was caught on a hot mic saying he wanted to give the Nashville Predators a penalty.
I mentioned that Tim Peele used to be an NHL referee because the NHL has taken swift action against Peele.
Referee Tim Peel no longer will be working NHL games now or in the future. https://t.co/mrnDc61W5P pic.twitter.com/tKsg2SwGh8
