Well played, Matt Calvert.
The Columbus Blue Jackets forward was ready with a well-timed - albeit slightly inappropriate - one-liner after the scoreboard at Toronto's Air Canada Centre got jammed not far from ice level before Wednesday's game between the Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets.
"So they can’t get it up on Valentine’s Day?" Calvert quipped to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.
Here was the scene less than two hours before puck drop:
