Nashville Predators forward Mike Ribeiro let his emotions get the better of him late in the club's Game 3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Ribeiro found himself up against the Blackhawks' bench late in Chicago's 4-2 win, and he took out his frustration with a punch to the face of forward Andrew Shaw, who appeared to be holding Ribeiro.

Well this is just a total garbage hit on a guy who wasn't even playing.

Ribeiro wasn't penalized for the incident, but he was assessed a holding minor with 43 seconds left that effectively killed Nashville's chances of making a late comeback.
