Samantha Rivera, a Chicago-native and DePaul University alum, stood her ground at the Stanley Cup finals.

I like she keeps her eyes on the camera. Doesn’t even glance at him.

[Thunderbyrd.]

She's great! She just said "Nope" and gave him the stiff arm.

[orclord]

That tells me she's into hockey as much as that fan. Quick the fight, but all smiles

[swallman]

didn't even divert her eyes from the camera, that woman is a PRO

[Stabsnipers]

lol, A Knights fan can't mess with someone from Chicago until Vegas has won 6 Stanley Cups.

[MegaBpop]

She protected her mic and stopped him from taking over the live air segment. Don’t mess with her!

It's so weird how badly some people want to embarrass themselves on TV.

[CarlWright-vr]

Don't mess with this woman!! She handled this perfectly.

[therealbahamut]

She was just all "NOPE, this is MY screentime, you are NOT invited, get BACK."

[mr.freightliner]

She did better than more than half of The Bears Offensive Linemen. Her form was good old Lawrence Taylor.

That's her at the bar every weekend

She is a little doll and this was so horrible. What a great job. Stay safe young lady. You are going to be a star.

Couldn’t even get his face on screen 😭

[jonathantrauner]

She defended herself. I hate people who are creepy

[mikeelek]

That was the best thing that I've watched this week.

[benvasilinda]

Ok, she must have played sports or been a cheerleader in high school and college. That defense was on point.

[Artemis_A-]

I mean, the dude wasn’t really trying that hard but good for her 😂

[MaryAndersonSmithRob]

She’s from CHICAGO…what more can you say? We don’t mess around here. And she kept it professional 💯 ❤️

Seriouosly YouTube? A 15 second ad, that you cannot skip, for a 30 second video? Greedy much.
