Video here. In his defense, that is one douchey-looking mascot.

I wouldn’t really call that a tackle either… just a two-handed shove after he was covered in sillystring.

Were I in his shoes I would have been rather annoyed by it as well. Doubt I would have made physical contact but I would have told him to go screw. Of course, this is assuming that the fan was running his mouth prior to the incident.

Hit from behind, 5 and a game, reviewed by the league.

Nice. But the mascot gets 2 and 10 for instigating.

awesome, I love being in the background of stuff like that.

I walk past the background in that video from a year or two ago when that girl was going up a down escalator post-game.

So you’re saying thunderbug was just waiting for the lightning to score and fire up the tesla coils?

Mascot fired

Lightning say this incident was only part of the reason. Apparently the Bruins fan wasn’t ejected, merely brought out to the concourse to question about the situation. Makes me think he didn’t instigate matters and thus puts the mascot entirely in the wrong.

Our intention isn't to discuss this... it's to see if you can bleed.
