Before the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks faced off in the Winter Classic at Notre Dame Stadium, the university’s famous leprechaun mascot made an appearance on the ice — and proceeded to lose an edge.
NBC replayed the spill during the broadcast, with analyst Pierre McGuire commenting that the leprechaun “went down like a power window.”
McGuire was quick to note that the mascot got right up and continued skating with a big smile on his face.
The luck of the Irish proved to be with the Bruins at the traditional New Year’s Day outdoor matchup as Boston defeated the Blackhawks, 4-2.
