The Stanley Cup Playoffs aren't usually described as a day at the beach, that is, until Game 4 between the Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators.

It was during the second period that a beach ball made its way onto the ice, which was scooped up by a referee, who put it in his shirt of all places.

David Pastrnak then juggled it on his stick before attempting to fire it back over the glass. Finally, Ottawa's Cody Ceci managed to get it out of the playing surface.

Despite the brief period in the spotlight, it ultimately proved to be a deflating moment in the ball's existence.
