Im telling him its new kickplates and will keep an eye on it .. Keep in mind faceoff is in that end on opposite side. As I am on the ice with door about 3 feet open to talk to him and hes showing me what hes talking about... THEY DROP THE DAM PUCK lol. I said SHIT and the ref quickly turned around and said SHIT also. Now its a brand new zamboni door so it was real hard to close quickly by myself. So plays going on and im scambling to get doot closed. LOL It all happened in a matter of 10 seconds but after was pretty funny. Next break ref skated to me..smiled and said OOPS.
