WATCH: Minnesota Wild player PUNCHES ref right in the FACE

Tonight the Minnesota Wild and Dallas stars are playing a preseason game, and a lot of the players tonight will most likely be getting cut in the next few days, but some want to leave a lasting memory of themselves before they get sent back to the minors.

During tonights game in the 1st period, Brandon Baddock absolutely levelled Mitchell Chaffee, but looked very clean. Unfortunately for Baddock, he was called of interference and given a 5 minute major.

Jerad Rosburg came to the defence of his teammate and we got this nice little tilt that the referee definitely wishes he was not in the way of as he got clobbered right in the face!
