In a firm display of passion and antics, former NHL player turned analyst Paul Bissonnette stole the show during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers at Rogers Place.

When the jumbotron focused on Bissonnette and his colleague Ryan Whitney during the second period, the former player went wild, tearing off his jersey and twirling it above his head.

However, Paul Bissonnette's actions didn't stop there. In a bizarre turn of events, he proceeded to "choke out" two fans seated in front of him. While doing this, he accidentally grabbed the glasses of an Oilers fan and broke them.

Watch the video here:

Edmonton went on to win 8-1 against the Panthers, cutting the series lead to 3-1.
