Tuukka Rask made the second period of the Bruins-Lightning game even more eventful on Saturday when he chucked his broken skate blade across the ice. 

This was after he held it, brandishing it almost like a sword, to the official. 

Rask lost the blade due to Yanni Gourde shot when the Bruins were up 3–1, and he couldn't move around. During that time, Rask was trying to get a whistle, but didn't get one. Tampa Bay's Mikhail Sergachev scored to make it 3–2.

By then, Rask started his advance, and well, sword fights shouldn't take place on ice.

Naturally, Twitter world had some thoughts.

Tuukka Rask and Happy Gilmore: only people to try to stab people with their skate blade.

Tuukka Rask gonna get the Happy Gilmore award for trying to slice an official with his skate.

If Tuukka Rask had a milk crate, he would have chucked that instead of the blade.

#NHLBruins' Tuukka Rask wielding his detached skate blade like a pirate's cutlass after the second #Bolts goal is one of the best visuals of these #StanleyCup playoffs thus far. #NHLPlayoffs #TBLightning #BOSvsTBL pic.twitter.com/odkJIIfAUh

This is a man who also thrown milk crates across the ice, though that honestly sounds much safter.
