Whining about the fans in his section last night that did not follow hockey etiquette.

Props to meatpants for calling him on his whining.

What was the offensive behavior?

Again, he's been beating the drum of "give hockey a chance" for months now. He has likely been at least a part of bringing new fans to the games. And they don't know the proper way to act yet. It happens. If you're going to recruit people, you gotta figure that this sort of thing is going to happen...and you deal with it.

Again, any idiot should be able to see why you don't stand up when the puck is in play. That is of course, unless that person has never been to a movie, attended a play, gone to a single sporting event or left their house. Then I would understand.

You get mad when people stand up during a movie? What if it's like a 3 hour movie? Do you expect every person in the theater to be able to make it the whole time?

I've seen people leave plays before too. They stop them at the doors and don't let them in except for certain times.

Hockey doesn't have many long stoppages besides the intermissions. I only get mad when people move slowly or stop to talk. If they do the best they can to avoid disruption I'm fine with it. It's not like there isn't that much time from the whistle to the next face off. You'll still be bothering people.

Bottom line: You don't need to be a longtime hockey fan to know human beings are unable to see through the body of another human being.

But when he RETURNS to his seat during the action, he is being a complete butthole.

People move in between innings at baseball games, then come back to thier seat in the middle of an inning. Its annoying, but it happens. You either deal with it or watch the games in the comfort of your HOF room

Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't Mac given a verbal lashing to people who bitch about others standing at concerts? Isn't this scenario very similar, except Mac is now sitting on the other side of the fence?

Im pretty sure Mac had a story similar to this about a year ago, but maybe I am mistaken.

What are you arguing? Is it that people should not get up in any situation that would block others view during any game action? If you expect that, it's probably best to watch games at home. This is actually one of the reasons I rarely go to movie theaters. People there are idiots who sit on cell phones texting the whole time and other annoying things.
How quick do you think these people are? I don't know how far his seats were down but if he had to go down 15 rows or so and then go inside 10 seats he can't do that from the time of the goalie grabbing the puck to the next face off. Keep in mind that normally what slows you down is how slow people are getting out of your way while securing the beer and the food and the jacket.

It's inevitable at any live sporting event.

And when you have 20,000 plus fans at a sporting event, you're bound to have some douchers. So, you expect it and just deal with it. I guess it just doesn't bother me as much. I'm not a hockey fan, but still when I do go to concerts or sporting events, I expect that I may miss a pitch or 2 because of people moving to thier seats.
