David Pastrnak berates referee after massive on-ice mistake

David Pastrnak stepped up for the Boston Bruins earlier this week, with a beautiful game 7 OT winner against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The superstar is a key piece of the Bruins team, and listened clearly to head coach Jim Montgomery's comments telling him he had to be better.

In the midst of a dominant game 1 win against the Florida Panthers, Pastrnak looked great, but a collision with a referee nearly injured him.

This collision left Pastrnak in visible pain on the bench:

Following the collision, knowing he was in the wrong, referee Chris Rooney went to apologize to Pastrnak:

Ultimately Pastrnak would leave the game with a point, and more importantly a win as the Boston Bruins attempt to clinch a spot in the Conference Finals.

If this had injured Pastrnak more severely, it could have ruined the Bruins' chances at a shot at Lord Stanley. Referees definitely need to be more careful.
