Well, this is a new one.

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask lost his cool during the second period of Game 1 in Tampa Bay immediately after being scored on by the Lightning.

The issue wasn't interference or a high stick, but rather that he had been playing with a broken skate blade for a few moments and was therefore hindered from making the save.

According to NHL rule 14.1, "Play shall not be stopped nor the game delayed by reasons of adjustments to clothing, equipment, skates or sticks. The onus of maintaining clothing and equipment in proper condition shall be upon the player. If adjustments are required, the player shall leave the ice and play shall continue with a substitute."

That's one thing in relation to skaters, but there's no exception for goalies.

"No delay shall be permitted for the repair or adjustment of goalkeeper's equipment. If adjustments are required, the goalkeeper shall leave the ice and his place shall be taken by the substitute goalkeeper immediately."

Here's the official ruling from the NHL:

The goal was scored by Mikhail Sergachev on the power play.
