There are a few players in the NHL who want to make sure they are last off the ice in certain situations. It can make for a pretty awkward situation when two opponents insist on being the last to leave and won't budge. Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins and Mika Zibanejad with the New York Rangers found themselves in such a predicament Friday night when they both refused to get off the ice before the other when warmups ended.

The two firmly planted themselves at their respective exits and flat-out rejected any idea of one going before the other. At one point, the Zamboni driver had to go around them. Marchand and Zibanejad ultimately decided on a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who would be the last person skating. Zibanejad won and brushed Marchand to the back. The video shows a pretty dejected-looking Marchand, who was uphappy that he lost. Gotta love hockey players!
