Late in the third period of Saturday night's Game 5 between the Colorado Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog gave Wild netminder Darcy Kuemper the old snow shower. He was assessed a two minute penalty on the play for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Granted, two minutes for a play that is pretty routine in the annals of playoff hockey is a bit much, but Landeskog didn't really contain his anger at the call. The Avalanche captain gave the on-ice official a gentle shove while vocally expressing his disappointment:
