Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne threw a temper tantrum after being pulled from Thursday night's deciding Game 7 of their second round playoff series against San Jose.
Rinne had a bad night, giving up a fifth goal to the Sharks at the 3:54 mark of the third period. When he was pulled, Rinne snapped his stick in half as he slammed it against the goalpost, then threw it against the glass.
The Sharks advanced to the Western Conference Finals, where they will face the St. Louis Blues.
