Predators goalie Pekka Rinne is really good at stopping a hockey puck. Maybe too good.
Last night’s Predators-Blackhawks matchup turned into a triple overtime game that featured 101 minutes of hockey and 3 minutes of Puck Hunt, a game that is exactly like Duck Hunt, but replace the guns and the cartoon dog and ducks and shooting with getting a puck out of your pants.
The incident happened during the game’s first overtime when Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne went out to play the puck behind the net. The puck took a weird bounce, somehow finding its way into Rinne’s goalie pants. The game could not go on until the puck was located, which took a painful three minutes. Rinne spent the time shaking his legs, wiggling his butt, and disrobing his goalie pads.
Eventually the puck was found and although Rinne’s Predators eventually lost the game, they won over the hearts of stripping goalie enthusiasts across the NHL.
