The Calgary Streaker
An
unidentified man climbed over the glass next to the penalty box, during the
Calgary Flames game vs the Boston Bruins last week, but he wound up hitting his
head when he fell. After a 6-minute delay, he was taken off on a stretcher to a
loud ovation. Having regained consciousness, he pumped his hands in the
air.
What earns him the first Hoser of the Week Award has more to do
with his ability to get to the playing surface. With hightened security around
the sports world gaining an ugly head of steam, more and more venues are taking
the precautious approach. That security was enough in Kansas City last Summer
when a base coach for the Royals was attacked on the field by two drunk
fans.
The NHL can curb this type of behavior by installing more barriers
to the ice, like the protective netting that has been installed at every rink
in the league already. Barriers equate to more obstruction with sight lines and
a poorer quality product all the way around. "Down in front", never meant so
much. |
