In an attempt to tie the game, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper pulled his goaltender in favor of a sixth skater and that's when forward Nikita Kucherov made a move that caused quite a stir on social networks:
Of course, it's not really a drama and I wonder if it really changes anything, but many fans found the move hilarious, while others accused Kucherov of trying (once again) to circumvent the rules.
Which side are you on? Would you have been offended if he did this against the Habs? Or do you find it funny and clever?
