Sabres Broadcaster Pulls Hilarious Move After Getting Popped In Face With Puck, Becomes Absolute Legend In The Process
One of the greatest stories in hockey history right here!
Rob Ray, a broadcaster for the Buffalo Sabres, was incredibly tough during his playing days in the NHL. With that being said, though, I’m sure he’d tell you that he’d rather not get smashed in the face with a puck after it flies into the booth while broadcasting. And yes, that’s what happened to him recently.
He responded in absolutely hilarious fashion Tuesday night. (RELATED: ‘We’re So Lucky’: Florida Panthers’ Matthew Tkachuk Keeps It 100% Real About How Much He Loves Being An American)
If you didn’t see, Ray was popped with a puck right in the face Saturday night when the Sabres were squaring off against the New York Rangers in Buffalo, resulting in him screaming…
Well, just listen.

And what did he do in response Tuesday night?
Hilariously sitting in the nosebleeds!
