You really never know what you're going to see during a playoff game in the NHL.

Wednesday night in the second period of a scoreless Game 4 between the Senators and Bruins, a beach ball somehow made its way onto the ice in Boston.

Rather than stopping play, though, this ref dealt with it in an even better way that's sure to make you chuckle.

 

Quick thinking from Brad Meier to keep play going.

Once play stopped, though, Cody Ceci took care of the beach ball properly.

Beach balls are better than the wave, so we'll take what happened in Boston any day.

Sens fans will take what happened in Boston, too, as their team won to move one game away from advancing to the next round of the playoffs.

 

The #Senators take a 3-1 series lead after beating the #Bruins 1-0.
