Game sevens can end up including a lot of tension and physicality when it comes to the NHL Playoffs, and it seems the officials are doing their best to ensure things don't get out of hand tonight between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers. In the first period, referee Steve Kozari sent the Bruins Brandon Carlo to the penalty box.
As both are making their way there, Carlo can be heard saying something along the lines of 'are you sure/short?' due to Kozari having his finger on his mic button. Kozari wasn't into it at all.
"Don't try...don't f--kin' test me!" was Kozari's reply.
