We know that hockey players swear like sailors, and if you've ever sat first row before, then there's a good chance you've heard some of the NSFW chirps that fly out of the mouths of players in between whistles.

But every so often, the profanity isn't directed at a competitor, but rather, a teammate of their own.

On Sunday night, Tomas Hertl fired a shot past Marc-Andre Fleury to force a Game 7 in the San Jose and Vegas Golden Knights series. Hertl called essentially called the game when he said the Sharks were going to force a Game 7.

Hertle was tackled by his Sharks teammates for scoring the short-handed, double-overtime winner.

After the dog pile dissipated, the 25-year-old was confronted by Erik Karlsson, who issued an NSFW statement right to Hertl.

"That was a nice shot, you f***ing b***h!"

After undergoing a 3-1 deficit to the Golden Knights, the Shaks have rallied to force a seventh game back home at the Shark Tank.

With Martin Jones significantly improving his play, Karlsson and Hertl, who sit first and second in team playoff scoring, all three players will be counted on to deliver with their season on the line.
