It's one of those cases where the referee becomes the show again. During Thursday night's game between the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues, Edmonton's Kailer Yamamoto was being given a two-minute penalty for holding. Apparently not happy with the call, Yamamoto was jawing at referee Kyle Rehman on his way to the box, who was about to announce the penalty over the public address system.

Knowing his mic was already turned on, Rehman turned towards Yamamoto and said "watch it, I'm wearing a mic. You better be careful what you say!" I'm not sure that put an end to Yamamoto's complaining, but it was a funny moment all the same. The official sounded like he was scolding a child.
