In the late first period of Game 5, a linesman unfortunately took a puck to his ear on a clearing attempt.
A total innocent play that fortunately didn’t cause too much harm to the linesman Jonny Murray who was able to keep on reffing the game after some maintenance work on his ear.
The Montreal Canadiens would go on to skate to a 4-1 Game 5 victory and now lead the series against the Vegas Golden Knights three games to two.
I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
