The game between the Pittsburg Penguins and the Tampa Bay Lightning Friday night was delayed in the first period when ref Mike Leggo became ill and threw up on the ice.

Due to an illness to referee Mike Leggo, the @TBLightning/@Penguins game will continue under the three-official system. #TBLvsPIT

Referee Mike Leggo just vomited twice at the zamboni entrance as he left the ice

So, will anybody be willing to go in for a battle in that corner for the rest of the period?

Leggo would leave the game and not return. A three man officiating crew would be used for the remainder of the game. The Penguins (24-9-5) would top the Lightning (24-12-4) 6-3.

Oh you wanted to watch the video of the ref spewing? OK well fine then.
