Rogers Place was the site of an epic moment on Saturday night and no I'm not talking about anything that actually happened on the ice between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights.

During the course of the clash between the two Pacific Division rivals on Saturday night, news suddenly broke on the broadcast woman had gone into labor inside of the arena. The news was delivered on the broadcast by legendary Hockey Night in Canada interviewer Scott Oake who delivered the message as only he can.

"There's a baby being born on the 7th floor of Rogers Place as we speak, "said Oake on the HNIC broadcast. "Someone is going to have a great story to tell."

In true Scott Oake fashion, he suggested that perhaps the mother could join him on his After Hours segment which of course would have produced some truly hilarious results.

"It would be nice to have the mother join us on After Hours to describe what happened but that could be a bit much," said Oake.

It was a truly surreal moment for those who tuned in live and I can only hope that we will get a follow up on the status of the mother and her newborn.
