Probably the first time in history a referee has tweeted during a second period.

@station_nation if this goes longer will have to start scanning the crowd for the weak and feeble. #Alive

Also, a special shout out to this Drakkar fan who we have had many interactions with over the years. He went back through our live blog feed from a few years ago and found the jokes we made about the power going out at the Henry Leonard Centre.

@station_nation Hummm embarassing moment for Saint John... It's your turn now... Remember 2011 in Baie-Comeau... :P pic.twitter.com/0w9mCoKarR
