The game was delayed for several minutes as the team stood up, stepped out onto the ice and waited for a replacement bench to be brought out from the bowels of the arena. They huddled around staring at the scene like a player had just been injured, but the crew had the replacement out in no time. It was even blue. How appropriate!
