A CBS Miami sports reporter covering a hockey game is being praised for showing off some serious football skills after she stiff-armed a fan trying to get into her shot on Monday night.  

Samantha Rivera was recapping Game 2 of the NHL’s Stanley Cup finals, in which the Las Vegas Knights beat the Florida Panthers, 7-2, when the fan butted in. 

Or rather, the fan tried to butt in ― because as the footage shows, Rivera wasn’t having it:
