In response to Bunting, Darcy Tucker posts video of when he got pushed around by ref (video)

It was the talk of the hockey world earlier this week. Michael Bunting of the Toronto Maple Leafs was shoved into the penalty box by a referee who had apparently had enough of the antics that were happening on the ice. Many felt the official should be punished. That didn't happen. But a former Maple Leaf took to his Instagram account to show Bunting he isn't the first person to get shoved by a ref.

Darcy Tucker posted the video below as a response to Bunting's incident with the caption "Hey it happens." In the video the referee, who's no small guy by any means, violently pushes Tucker into the penalty box as he and his colleagues attempt to break up some fights on the ice.

The official in the video is Mick McGeough, who passed away at the age of 62 in 2018.

As for Bunting, if you haven't yet seen the incident he was involved in, you can view it below.
