Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw knocked Nashville Predators forward James Neal over the boards and into the Blackhawks bench during the first period of Saturday night's game at Bridgestone Arena.
Neal was handling the puck in front of the Blackhawks bench when Shaw lined up and checked him. The momentum of the collision carried Neal halfway over the boards, then Shaw threw Neal's legs over for good measure.
That had to be an awkward moment for Neal, but he probably laughed about it later.
The Blackhawks beat the Predators 3-1.
