Bruins fans banged on the penalty box glass so hard, it broke and struck the attendant

Bruins David Pastrnak CJ Fogler NHL Boston Tipico

Entering Friday’s home Game 3 against the Hurricanes, fans in Boston were hoping the Bruins would turn around a lopsided series. With Carolina taking each of the first two games by a combined 10-3 margin, hope was minimal but not lost.

After all, home cooking does matter in the NHL playoffs. And as the adage goes: It’s not a series (or it’s not over) until someone loses a home game. So you can bet Boston fans were a bit excited.

That excitement boiled over when the Bruins jumped out to a 3-1 lead on a David Pastrnak goal that sent TD Arena in Boston into absolute frenzy.

Though, it seems the situation got a little too crazy.

Fans celebrating Pastrnak’s goal near the glass were, naturally, banging on it quite hard. In particular, the glass around the penalty box didn’t seem to be strong enough to withstand the fans’ pressure.

The glass broke. And a large shard of it struck the attendant sitting in the booth.

 

Trainers immediately checked on the attendant, who had to be taken off on a stretcher while wearing a neck brace.

What a scary, unfortunate moment.
