Re: Referee Appears Out of Nowhere

Well, now that's weird, lol: watched it many times, he actually looks to appear from nowhere. Found some info, not sure they're accurate, but maybe someone will find the same scene taken from a different angle.
This is from the 2009 Western Conference finals, and we have no idea why it just showed up on YouTube yesterday. But watch at the 0:07 mark, when linesman Brad Lazarowich enters the picture, seemingly out of nowhere. We've watched this about a billion times, and we think we've figured it out: it's magic.
The only MUNDANE explanation would be some trick of perspective + fast moving speed on ice + camera movement:

at 05:00 you can see some referee in the background,
Name:  ref.jpg
Views: 622
Size:  30.4 KB

maybe he made some turn and passed in front of camera while he was hidden by some players, like in this frame, for example.
Name:  ref2.jpg
Views: 643
Size:  27.3 KB

But that's just some possible explanation. Another video taken from a different angle would clarify it for sure imho.
Anyway, funny and puzzling: thanks !

Re: Referee Appears Out of Nowhere

You get a glimpse of the ref just before 4 seconds (left of number 88 Kane) and another glimpse just before 6 seconds (behind the other ref.) I don't think it was the ref at 5 seconds on the right.
