The atmosphere at the Bruins game took a nosedive during the third period. Frustration boiled over when Jakub Lauko was hit with an interference penalty against Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
The call didn't sit well with the home crowd, leading to loud boos and chants of "Ref, you suck" echoing through the arena.
The situation escalated quickly as some fans started throwing items onto the ice. The objects, including full beer cans and water bottles, posed a danger to players and staff.
This forced a game delay, much to the dismay of everyone in attendance. Despite efforts by the clean-up crew, a few fans continued to throw more objects, prolonging the interruption.
Such behavior sparked a wave of criticism, overshadowing the game and highlighting an ugly side to sports events.
