Derek Dorsett ejected for squirting water bottle at Oilers bench (Video)

The Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers played their finals games on Saturday night, but there was just enough time left for Derek Dorsett to earn one of the most ridiculous game misconducts of the regular season.

At 18:33 of the third period, Patrick Maroon of the Edmonton Oilers scored his 12th of the season to tie the game at 3-3. He went back to the bench and mockingly motioned over to Dorsett, who was standing in the Canucks bench area.

They yapped at each other across the cameramen in between the benches. Suddenly, Dorsett gave his water bottle a squeeze, sending a stream of liquid at Maroon.

The Oilers forward turned away, and then raised his hand in disbelief that Dorsett just wasted good water. Maroon stared at the on-ice officials until they skated over and handed Dorsett a misconduct.

Dorsett finished the season strong in the penalty minutes department. He had 17 minutes in his last three games to claim first overall in PIMs this season with 177. So unless Tom Wilson of the Washington Capitals goes bananas in their season finale, Dorsett will be the penalty minutes king this season. Congrats, or something.

Meanwhile, we really, really hope this isn’t a harbinger of water bottle incidents to come. No one needs a repeat of the squirting shenanigans of the 2014 playoffs.
