A comical incident took place ahead of the opening game of the NHL season in Philadelphia.
As reported by İdman.Biz, police officers and their dogs were carrying out a security inspection of the ice and stands at Xfinity Mobile Arena before the game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins.
During the inspection, one of the dogs suddenly relieved itself right in the middle of the rink – directly on the Flyers’ logo.
The unusual pre-game episode proved to be an unfortunate omen for the home team.
Philadelphia went on to suffer a crushing 7-0 defeat to Pittsburgh in their opening game of the 2026/27 NHL regular season.
The Penguins scored twice in the first period, added three more goals in the second and completed the rout with another two in the final period.
