The NHL season is rolling full steam ahead, serving up non-stop action, drama, and just the right amount of chaos. And while the New York Islanders just snagged a solid 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center, that wasn’t the moment that had fans buzzing. Nope, it wasn’t a highlight-reel goal or a jaw-dropping save—it was something way funnier.
In a scene straight out of a comedy sketch, some NHL fans decided to get creative with their game strategy, attempting to bribe the referees in the middle of the Islanders vs. Sharks showdown. Yep, you read that right! Because, hey, when in doubt, why not try a little off-ice persuasion?
Gino Hard hopped on X mid-game to drop a must-see clip, and let’s just say—this one’s got ‘hockey fan chaos’ written all over it. With the Islanders leading 2-1, the referees took a pause to review a play, standing firmly on the sidelines, all serious and focused. But then? Oh, then came the moment.
Out of nowhere, a bold Sharks fan swooped in from the side, casually flashing some cash—yep, straight-up offering it to the refs, as if that would magically sway their decision. And, well, the refs? They didn’t even blink. Ignored it completely. But the internet? They ate it up. Gino couldn’t help but drop the perfect caption, “This Sharks fan was really trying to bribe the refs.” Hockey fans? Built for entertainment.
