There are some embarrassing moments that you hope are never on camera, but when they are, you just take it in stride and laugh it off. That\u2019s exactly the situation NHL <\/a>reporter Anna Dua found herself in this week.<\/p>\n

Before a game between the New York Rangers and the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Thursday night, Dua was rushing around near the locker rooms.<\/p>\n

When she sprinted past the Rangers, who were preparing for pre-game warmups, she faceplanted right in the tunnel as players looked on.<\/p>\n

To Dua\u2019s credit, she bounced right back to her feet and went about her way.<\/p>\n

Sportsnet studio host David Amber jokingly referenced Dua\u2019s fall, which led to her joking about the situation and eventually sharing the footage that was captured by her cameraman.<\/p>\n

Raise your hand if you face planted while running to a hit in front of the entire New York Rangers during their warmups in an all white outfit and then got put on blast by @DavidAmber<\/a> on Hockey Central\u2026 \ud83d\ude4b\ud83c\udffc\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n

My cameraman @Gariepy21<\/a> got the fall footage for y\u2019all don\u2019t worry \ud83d\ude02 pic.twitter.com\/0OU3fll7Lp<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI did [fall], in front of the entire New York Rangers during their warm-up circles,\u201d Dua said. \u201cSo, once we get the footage of that, maybe we\u2019ll be able to show all the fans at home that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amber continued the light-hearted exchange, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve all been there. Be well; enjoy the game. Some Original Six action tonight at Scotiabank Arena. Putting Anna Dua on blast.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t joke around with your coworkers about some unfortunate situations, you\u2019re in the wrong environment.<\/p>\n

And, hey, luckily for Dua, she avoided any injury.<\/p>\n

As for the game itself, it turned out to be a good one. The Maple Leafs went on to score a 2-1 victory over the Rangers in overtime.<\/p>\n
