Rob Ray was placed at ice level to call the game between the two team benches. Late in the first period, a puck went out of play and hit Ray right in the forehead — and he dropped a giant F-bomb on live television: Rob Ray took a puck to the forehead between the benches, but shook it off 😅 pic.twitter.com/E2eBxsn1WM

It was a typical day at the office for former NHL tough guy-turned-broadcaster Rob Ray -- taking pucks to the face and getting right back to work. That was the scene Saturday afternoon when Ray -- who spent 14 years as an enforcer for the Buffalo Sabres and now does color commentary between the benches during games -- was hit in the face by a deflected puck during the Sabres' afternoon matchup with the visiting New York Rangers.

The most recent Sabres Hall of Fame inductee showed off his trademark toughness when an errant puck smacked Rob Ray in the face during the first period of Buffalo’s 8-2 win against the New York Rangers on Saturday night at KeyBank Center.
