SAN JOSE -- The Nashville Predators, who were playing a great hockey game Sunday, must have realized things were taking a bad turn with two minutes left in the second period.
That's when one of their players, defenseman Roman Josi, tried to avoid taking a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty by climbing through the wrong door. Onto the wrong bench. Onto the Sharks' bench."I've never seen that before," Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. "In 25 or 30 years of hockey, I haven't seen that situation before.""I don't know if he tried hiding, or what," said Sharks forward Tommy Wingels."I think he just tried to jump off anywhere he could, so give him credit," said Sharks defenseman Paul Martin.Purdy: Bounces go Sharks' way in weird game
