Boston Bruins

Well, that was not fun to watch, very stresfull. At least if the lose Friday, I'll be in Hartford Saturday to make up for it.

WTF?


Bruins fans: Beer, popcorn, condoms, oh my.
Since the advent of professional sports, Philadelphia has – fairly or unfairly – been the epicenter of black eye stories about fan conduct at games.

Look at this year’s Phillies season alone: both the idiot fan that induced vomiting on an 11-year-old girl and the 17-year-old that needed to be corralled via taser for running onto the field at Citizens Bank Park made national headlines.

On a slow news day, the taser run-in even led Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show.”

What about other cities? Is the lewd and deplorable behavior in other cities, arenas and stadiums publicized, too? Or is it just Philadelphia?

Flyers fan and CrossingBroad.com blogger Adam Gonsiewskiattended last night’s Flyers and Bruins Game 5 at TD Garden in Boston.

Full disclosure: Gonsiewski invaded Bruins territory in a Flyers jersey, specifically with Simon Gagne’s name and number on the back.

Entering foreign lands wearing the opponent’s gear, Gonsiewski said he expected to be hit with verbal abuse, taunts, and even a stray beer or two.

That’s normal, he says. To quote his blog: “Beer cups, french fries, ketchup, popcorn – that’s all expected.”

How about being hit with condoms?

Gonsiewski has photographic proof here.

Understandably, the natives were getting restless in Boston. The Bruins are on the verge of choking on a 3-0 series lead, blowing a chance to return to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1992. You know, back when Sea Bass – better known as Bruins star Cam Neely, who played Sea Bass in legendary flick "Dumb and Dumber" – and Ray Bourque still played for the B’s.

Gonsiewski also added a picture of the beer cups that littered the ice before the players could even exit the ice. Classy.

That’s all well and fine. Beers, french fries, ketchup and popcorn – Philadelphians, of all people, get that. And even expect it.

But condoms? Gonsiewski cracks that Boston fans probably "have no better use for them." But do we need to add contraceptives to the list of approved objects to throw at opposing fans and chalk it up to a society with changing morals? Where is the line drawn?

Not trying to get rid of it just pointing out other cities have the same asshole fans

C'mon, a picture of a random comdom on the ground (which could be from anywhere) is "photographic evidence" that he had condoms thrown at him?

Also, those aren't beer cups on the ice, they are towels.

A little too much journalist freedom taken here to call this "proof".

my good friend that lives up in boston is a huge bruins fan and told me yesterday that a lot of boston fans are starting to feel how the yankee fans felt in '04.

that made me happy to hear.

I will be there to see history..... avoided

Then hopefully its on to the hated Habs in the conference finals. What a series that will be

Let's see if the B's can match what the C's did last night in that building and head onto to the Conference Championship ... which, for the B's, would be the first time since 1992. :shock:

Great start and they're hitting the Flyers which keeps the crowd in the game.
