Canucks - Red Wings game goes dark after power outage. (VIDEO)

After just under 30 seconds of play a power outage left the Vancouver Canucks vs Detroit Red Wings match up in the dark. The players were actually pulled off the ice after one side of the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit went completely black.  The video below shows the televised broadcast, the announcers we left scratching their heads like everyone else in the arena.  I must say however the darkened arena does have a certain outdoor winter hockey feel to ti. You can watch the video of the broadcast here courtesy of the NHL. Some were quick to jump on twitter and post photographs of the incident.

Not a good start at the Joe. pic.twitter.com/m2CNqim7ko — Greg Shannon (@Greg_Shannon) November 30, 2014
