The Nashville Predators embarrassed the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night, cruising to a 7-0 win in what was to this point the most lopsided game in the NHL this season. And it really wasn't close at any point as the Predators scored four goals before the game was even 15 minutes old.
As is often the case in games that get out of hand early, things turned physical throughout the night before reaching a boiling point early in the third period at the 4:44 mark when the two teams combined for 13 penalties after a stoppage in play. Because the teams were in the process of changing lines there were additional players on the ice, and because just about all of them were penalized -- including a goalie -- it resulted in this hilarious picture of the Predators' penalty box that was suddenly overflowing with people.
Yeah. That is six players and one penalty box attendant all jammed in there.
Predators goalie Pekka Rinne was given a two-minute penalty for leaving the crease to join an altercation, while the other penalties were all for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The two teams combined for 35 penalties that added up to 156 minutes for the entire game.
