Portland Winterhawks center Brendan Leipsic just wanted something to drink.

During the Winterhawks' Western Hockey League playoff game with the Vancouver Giants on Wednesday at the Moda Center, Leipsic took a slug off Giants' goaltender Payton Lee's water bottle. Leipsic was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the action, but the hometown crowd didn't care one bit.

Here are some tweets from The Oregonian crew that's covering the game.
