We all love when a game from the NHL gets a little WWE flair... and that's exactly what took place last night in Florida in the contest between the Panthers and the visiting Dallas Stars. 

It made us laugh, and in the end, we are pretty sure Stars captain Jamie Benn thought it was funny as well. But maybe not in the spur of the moment...

In the first period of the Stars' 3-0 win over the Panthers, Benn was skating by the opposing bench and one of the linesman just so happened to be sitting on the side of the board to get out of the play. However, the official accidentally got right in the middle of it when he made a call on the play and clotheslined Benn in the process.


The Stars captain sure looked stunned that he was getting hit at a moment where no opponent was around. Once he was back on his bench and realized what had taken place, Benn was able to laugh off the clothesline. 

Unfortunately for many Panthers fans, a few of them were on site to witness the funny incident. 

RDS' Pierre Houde posted a picture of the attendance at the BB&T Center, and most of the seats were empty. 

At least now with this viral video, everyone gets to enjoy it!
