Referee jumps on top of the net during the middle of the play to make sure he gets the call correct
Usually when a referee is featured it's because he's done something wrong. This isn't one of those cases. Yesterday during KHL action a referee decided he needed to do everything and anything possible to make sure he got the call right.
With the game between Admiral Vladivostok and Ak Bar tied at 0, the referee jumped into action. With one of the teams pressing at the goal line, the referee jumped up onto the net to ensure he had the perfect view to see whether the puck crossed the goal line or not.
The referee used his vantage point to ensure that the puck never crossed the line.
The game ultimately ended up going to overtime and ending as 1-0 game. It's nice to see a referee doing everything in his power to make sure he got the call right.
