Nedeljkovic smashes his stick, slams the bench door and screams at his teammates after getting pulled

The Penguins' netminder was LIVID!

Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Alex Nedeljkovic may have inspired his teammates this evening.

The 29 year old netminder was pulled from tonight's game against the Philadelphia Flyers and was absolutely LIVID at his teammates. Nedeljkovic was lit up for three goals in the first half of the game, with two of the goals against deflecting in off of his teammates.

And when head coach Mike Sullivan elected to make a change Nedeljkovic absolutely LOST it!

He smashed his stick on his net, threw the broken paddle into the corner, skated to his team's bench and slammed the bench gate before laying into his teammates on the bench.

Check it out:


Evidently that was the wake up call that the Penguins needed because they came back to make a game of things. The boys managed to tie things up and won the game 5-4 thanks to an OT goal from Evgeni Malkin!
