Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac here with another Sports Report for ya on a brisk November morning here in the Northeast! By the way, if you live in Florida…I’m jealous! My you-know-what is freezin’! Anyway, we’ve got all the Sports scores and news you need for the day…but before we head to the Scoreboard…get a load of this!
An NHL referee in Monday’s Florida Panthers Vs. Ottawa Senators game had finally had it…and after a fight broke out…the ref decided to give everyone on the ice a penalty! Haha! We’ve never seen anything like this before! Check it out!
Now what was the play that led up to the ref getting this pissed off? Here it is…
So many players were then in the penalty box that it was the first time Panthers backup goalie Anthony Stolarz had a chance to spread out and relax.
At one point, the Panthers coach needed to count his players remaining to see who actually was eligible to play.
Insanity! Now on to the Scoreboard!
