Calgary Fan Gets Bertuzzi’d

As Canadian readers will know, the NHL playoffs started last night. The Canucks won in a zaney 5-3 victory. After the game, however, there was an ugly incident in which a Canucks fan attacked somebody in a Calgary jersey. While this will be no surprise to English soccer enthusiasts, this sort of thing is rare at Canucks games. The crowd is way more white collar than it used to be, so most arguments these days are concluded by comparing bank accounts.

One interesting note about this photo (actually a capture from a video clip, from the looks of it): for ten o’clock at night, it looks very bright. Mind you, the like is very bluish, like that of a streetlight.

  1. This is the first I heard of this…. after the game I think I went and did some work or played ut2k4 or something.

    *sigh*

    I hate stupid people, especially when they bring down the sport (and city, and fans) down with them 😦

  2. I was surprised to hear it was such a big deal. When I heard it I just thought “Calgary idiot, you shouldn’t be walking around wearing that alone!” as I’d see things like that happen in England from time to time. To me it’s common sense.
