How does it work?
Well its not exactly the first time it has happened but in short fans throw stuffed animals onto the ice after the home team’s first goal of the game. In this case fans had to wait until the second period when Pavel Padakin scored, ironically for the second season in a row.
To celebrate Padakin even added a snow angel as the stuffed toys flew in from the stands.
