Fan ejected for pushing Rajon Rondo's hand during Lakers-Suns game

A courtside fan was ejected from Friday night's game at the Staples Center for slapping the hand of Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo during Friday night's NBA game at the Staples Center against Phoenix. 

It happened with under two minutes remaining in the third quarter as the Suns held a huge 89-57 lead over the Lakers. Rondo was in the corner of the court during a timeout on the floor as the officials were helping Russell Westbrook line up for an inbounds play on the other sideline. Rondo appeared to be pointing to a fan in the front row when the fan inexplicably pushed Rondo's hand out of his way.

     

The officials moved Rondo away from the fan as Staples Center security immediately moved in and asked the fan to leave the game.  That was absolutely the right thing to do.   

The Lakers tried to rally in the fourth quarter, but fell short as the Suns won the game 115-105. The Suns got their first win of the season, while the Lakers fell to 0-2.

As for the match, St. Etienne was able to rally from a two goal deficit and pull out a 2-2 draw on a header from defender Mickael Nade in the fourth minute of stoppage time.  However, they remain winless and will likely need some drastic changes to salvage their season.

Rays starter Rich Hill smashes dugout bench with bat vs. Nationals

Tampa Bay Rays starter Rich Hill lost his cool and had a bit of a temper tantrum in the Rays dugout during Tuesday night's game in Washington. 

It happened after Hill had been tagged by the Nationals for four runs in the first two innings, putting the Rays in a 4-0 hole. After returning to the Rays dugout at the end of the second inning, Hill vented his frustration by slamming his glove twice on the dugout bench and screaming something, then taking his cap and throwing it down. Hill wasn't finished, however, as he picked up a baseball bat and slammed the dugout bench a few times for good measure.

    

Hill had to get himself composed pretty quickly, because as luck would have it, he was due to lead off in the top of the third. He managed to reach first on a bunt single to the catcher and made it to second base on a throwing error, then advanced to third on a fielder's choice, but wasn't able to score a run.    

As things played out, the outburst may have been just what Hill needed to turn things around, as he pitched four more innings without giving up a run.  Unfortunately, the Rays weren't able to put together enough offense to dig out of the deficit, so Hill had to take the loss as the Nationals beat the Rays 4-3.

Shea Weber slashes Nikita Kucherov, gets away with it

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber slashed Tampa Bay Lightning right winger Nikita Kucherov during the late stages of Monday night's opening game of the 2021 Stanley Cup Final at Amalie Arena. 

It happened with under four minutes left in the third period with the Lightning holding a 4-1 lead. Kucherov took the pass across the Canadiens blue line, delivered a pass to a teammate and was attempting to position himself in the corner of the ice.  With Kucherov not looking, Weber took his stick and whacked him in the back of his left knee.

   

Kucherov went down, but got up relatively quickly and continued playing.  Weber did not receive a penalty, despite an official being in position behind the net, seemingly in a good position to see the play.  Unfortunately, we cannot identify the official from the video, but they deserve to be called out for missing this one.

Kucherov got the last laugh, however, as two minutes later he delivered an assist to Steven Stamkos on a power play goal to close out a 5-1 victory and give the Lightning a 1-0 lead. Kucherov had already contributed two goals, both in the third period.

Chandler Stephenson ejected for elbowing Tobias Bjornfot in face

Vegas Golden Knights center Chandler Stephenson was ejected from Wednesday night's game against Los Angeles for elbowing Kings defenseman Tobias Bjornfot in the face.

It happened late in the second period with the Kings winning 4-1.  Bjornfot was first to the puck along the boards in the corner of the Kings zone with Stephenson lining him up for the hit.  Bjornfot passed the puck around the boards behind the Kings net before Stephenson got there, but Stephenson couldn't resist the opportunity to knock Bjornfot into the boards with a high elbow to the face.

Bjornfot went down to his knees, clearly dazed and play was stopped.  Bjornfot was spitting blood as he slowly made his way off the ice and headed straight to the locker room.

As for Stephenson, he was immediately sent to the penalty box with a five-minute elbowing penalty, and then given a game misconduct after the officials reviewed the play.  Stephenson is likely to receive a suspension once the NHL Department of Player Safety takes a look at this.

In the end, the Kings beat the Golen Knights 4-2.

NHL All-Star Game features Green Day dropping F-bombs in live performance (Video)

Saturday night's NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis featured a live performance by Green Day in which lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong dropped several F-bombs.

NBC was prepared as they had the 7-second delay in place for the All-Star game broadcast, so the curses were bleeped for the viewers at home. However, the fans inside the Enterprise Center heard loud and clear as Armstrong used the expletive to urge the fans to get their hands up.

WARNING: There is cursing in these videos. Please make sure the kids aren't around to hear this.

Not sure if this was the look the NHL was going for, but fans familiar with Green Day would not be surprised by this. When you book Green Day for a live gig, what do you expect.

Then again, Jaegermeister is currently the "official SHOT of the NHL". Get it? In that context, maybe the NHL doesn't mind this publicity.
