Those watching the Cincinnati Reds play the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Saturday received an unexpected treat during a rain delay.

The game was halted in the bottom of the fifth inning and the crew controlling the video screen in left field decided to tune in to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final while waiting for the rain to stop, offering Chicago sports fans an opportunity to watch the Blackhawks take on the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It may not be as picturesque as the last time Wrigley Field hosted a hockey game, but it'll do in a pinch.
