kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 i'm all for fans getting into the game, but this is a new low. were they talking about it during the broadcast at all? SUTTER FURIOUS AT LASER POINTER WIELDING CANUCKS FAN VANCOUVER -- Calgary coach Brent Sutter was crying foul at Canucks fans after the Flames beat Vancouver in a shootout Saturday night. Sutter said someone in the sellout crowd of 18,810 at General Motors Place was directing a laser pointer at goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff throughout the game in an effort to distract him.

zettie85 106 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) The HNIC crew cut the guy pretty bad. I'm sure the guy feels like a ****** knowing that he was bashed on live TV Seriously though, how immature do you have to be?

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 If you look at the highlights on TSN.ca they have it. It's a pretty big ass distracting laser and the guy using it should never be allowed into a hockey arena again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have one of those green lasers for my dogs to chase, they are really strong - much more powerful than the old red ones. They shine for miles. I can imagine that it would be a huge distraction, and potentially even damaging if Kipper looked at it. Edited January 10, 2010 by kook_10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoe 165 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 I think the NHL should make a real example out of this guy let fans know there will be no tollerance for this type of thing big fines, banned from arena, comunity service and anything else they can dream up. Last thing the league needs is 20 lasers pointed at the goaltender every game. If you cant twirl an octopus over your head then you should pay dearly for a laser pointer.

HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 This is wrong but I got to kinda give the guy some credit, I would of never thought of that idea to distract a goalie. After saying that though, still... the guy is stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swayze 81 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I guess they wanted to change it up from the usual Green Men tactic: The Green Men are pretty funny (and a reference to a great show), but the laser pointer thing is a damn middle-school tactic.

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 A team could set up a strategy where they have a couple of guys in the stands all aiming lasers at the refs' eyes so the players can do whatever they want. Of course, the refs are already blind so I'm not sure it would work but it's worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the great Wayne can't defend this, you can't polish a turd. Vancouver is full of rich immigrants who don't respect the game. Calgary is the same. Not to say that the guy was one of them because I have no idea but going to a Canucks or Flames game is considered trendy. They don't go because they love hockey. They go to show off how rich they are in their 500 dollar seats and so other people can see them there. This may sound like a mean post but god they piss me off and this just reeks of something they would do. Edit:To be more specific Asian and middle eastern immigrants. Not all but the ones who want to be considered trendy. Edited January 11, 2010 by zettie85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, this is not the first time I've seen something like this happen. I believe it was at another hockey game, New Orleans had a minor league hockey team in the late 90s when I was in high school and I went to a game and there was a laser pointer there. I also had a punk flash a laser pointer at me at my college apartment while I was putting up Christmas lights on my balcony. I love a good joke or prank but laser pointers can ruin your eyesight bigtime. There aren't something to have fun with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
