Canadian Matt Tomkins smashes advertising sign after getting pulled in game (video)

No goaltender likes getting pulled in a hockey game. Canadian goalie Matt Tomkins, who is currently playing in the Swedish Hockey League, decided to take out his frustrations on his stick and an advertising sign behind the bench when he was yanked on Saturday.

Tomkins got the hook after he allowed a fifth goal around five minutes into the third period, leaving his team down three goals to Orebro. When he got back to the bench, Tompkins broke his stick over his knee, and then proceeded to smash it into an LED ad sign, leaving several pieces of the sign hanging by wires by the time he was done.

Tomkins was a seventh round draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2012, but the 28-year-old never made it past the AHL level. He's been in Sweden the past two seasons.
