Stanley Cup Finals 2016: Camera lens falls on ice, confuses players (Video)

Early in the first period of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, a camera lens fell on the ice and confused players.

Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins got off to an exciting start, but not in the way that the two teams had hoped that it would. Early in the first period, during play, a camera lens fell onto the ice. It confused players who thought it was the puck, but they quickly realized that it wasn’t the puck but a camera lens.

Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist honestly believed that the lens was the puck until he played it and he realized that it didn’t quite move the way that a puck would. He immediately pointed it out to prevent what could have been a very interesting scenario for both teams.

The first period was a scoreless one thanks to incredible efforts from Sharks goaltender Martin Jones and Penguins goaltender Matt Murray, so for the first 20 minutes, the most action that fans saw might have been Hornqvist accidentally thinking that a camera lens is a hockey puck. In his defense, it did look a bit like a puck. Hopefully the second period sees some more action.
