Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 Personally, I think this was staged. Look at the video again and you'll see another Boston fan right next to G-Dog Bruins fan. If that where my buddy or brother I probably would have grabbed him and held him back from making an ass of himself, but in this case no one did anything. Sure, people do go to games alone (which I have done before)but typically mascots do not silly string strangers. I really think this was staged. Just my two cents...

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 Too often, a mascot is just a stupid fan in an even stupider costume. Tampa Bay's hiring practices need a re-examiniation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Din758 371 Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Hilarious video. Both partys are to blame for sure. I think naturally people tend to flip out when touched in the face whether its a drink thrown at you, slap, punch, whatever. I think this guy just lost his cool for 1 second, which was long enough for that altercation to take place. Hes regretting it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drwscc 212 Report post Posted January 25, 2012 Well, looks like the mascot lady got fired over this. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/lightning-dismiss-thunderbug-silly-string-incident-boston-bruins-154442595.html#more-23432 Talk about needing to lighten up, Francis. Guess, if she was gonna get fired for that, might as well have dumped a beer on his head or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess, if she was gonna get fired for that, might as well have dumped a beer on his head or something. I love how in the comments section, someone says that it was a pathetic decision by Steve Yzerman or whoever it was. Do they really think the GM of the Lightning is responsible for the hiring and firing of mascots? The firing seems a little harsh unless there really were other factors. It was stupid to spray a fan in the face, but I'm guessing she wouldn't have done it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sputman 1,268 Report post Posted January 26, 2012 The mascot was a chick?? which makes me wonder, did this cretin think he was being attacked by a giant insect? i mean, most self-aware humanoids would stop and think "hey, maybe there's a kid or a girl who is a lot smaller than i am in there."

Guess, if she was gonna get fired for that, might as well have dumped a beer on his head or something. I know this is an old comment, but I find it strange that you somehow view pouring, essentially water, over someones head as far worse than spraying propellant and other harmful substances directly into their eye.
