Same here. I was having dinner when they went down 0-2 and got instant indigestion with nausea. Not enough Pepto to cure that. 2 losses in a row on consecutive nights to 2 not-so-liked Metro rivals wasnt sitting well. Glad we fought back like that. Makes last night a distant memory. Great heart and guts shown tonight!
Didn't see who instigated it but happened pretty much right as the Tro fight wrapped up. A lot more drunks in the stands than usual tonight among both fanbases. Pretty much a playoff atmosphere, both the positive and negative side of it.
Buffalo fans are by far the worst for sure especially when they were good. But Boston, Philly, Rags and Pittsburgh fans can be pretty bad too.
Not that is matters, but I put Pittsburgh with the Midwest likes of Chicago and Detroit. Can overtake opposing buildings and be whiny and obnoxious at worst, but not hostile. The Northeast fans are unbearable.
Most likely alcohol involved. In cases like that, it doesnt matter what jersey one is wearing.
Then stay out of Philly or Boston. They don’t need to be under any “influence “ to show their true colors.
(this is not meant as an endorsement of asking I made my POV clear in the prior thread that mustn't be 
)
As we become a more established franchise through longevity and a better team on the ice, this is the stuff we're going to have to continue to deal with. We're not a traditional market, being in an area of a very high amount of transplants (and increasingly so), including many on this board. We're not that team from a few years back, however, when the Pens came into our building and shallacked us 7-0, and Pens fans had unchecked control of our arena. That was awful. We're not going to keep opposing fans out, but many like myself have issues with elitist attitudes (mixed with alcohol) rear their ugly heads in our building. Fights will happen.
But expected...
Enjoy! For me its mostly relief. I take into consideration the opponents we're playing. A loss to Anaheim isnt as bad to me as a loss to Washington or Pittsburgh IMO. A loss is a loss?? Sure, but we need good showings against the better teams in our division and Im glad we didnt completely shit the bed two nights in a row vs key Metro foes.
I took a quick look none of the early responses I saw were over the top... so yeah he deserved what I saw.. Which mostly amounted don't do that again and Be better.. Remember though peeps. People are people and don't go over the line..
