Some weird things can happen in a hockey game, but things got really weird for Alexander Semin on Thursday night against the Washington Capitals. He was skating toward the boards to make a play when this happened:
Canadiens player gets stick stuck in jersey, looks like he has a tail

Awesome. Alex Semin had a stick stuck through his jersey throughout most of this shift. He just...went with it. pic.twitter.com/ElkTrvXm76

Semin you're supposed to play with 1 stick not 2 #MTL #Habs pic.twitter.com/VZPBCBrVSX

Thankfully, Semin was finally able to get himself unstuck by firing off a shot on the other end of the ice, but it was a glorious run while it lasted. Relive his entire two-stick shift here:
