National Hockey League (NHL) reporter Samantha Rivera is the real MVP after she stiff-armed an overzealous hockey fan who tried to interrupt her broadcast.

The Stanley Cup Finals Game 2 took place in Las Vegas on June 5, and after the game, an overzealous Vegas Golden Knights hockey fan attempted to interrupt Samantha’s broadcast and steal some camera time.

Samantha quickly showed that she was about that life, she stiff-armed the fan out of the view of the camera, and she continued her broadcast.

Samantha Rivera later vented about the experience on Twitter:

Listen, I don’t give a damn what team you’re rooting for – get the hell out of my face when I’m working and respect that I’m here to do my job.

Excited to get back home to some classy #Panthers fans for game 3!!
