For those of you who might have forgotten, this isn’t the first time that something like this has happened. The Dallas Stars also had a woman blow up on Twitter during a game.

Sometimes, the internet just finds a way to win the day, and women sitting behind NHL benches has seemingly become an awesome trend during the playoffs.

As a hockey fan, I’m all for whatever brings more attention to the league, and this is just fine by me! Is it the most traditional way to get attention on the league?

No, but fortune favors the bold!

I can’t wait to see what stars we see next sitting behind the benches during the NHL playoffs. Welcome to the world of pro hockey.
