Tampa Bay Lightning's 5-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday outshined by an enraged elderly fan, who was involved in an altercation.

The Penguins endured a 5-3 loss on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Lightning, but there was a fan who had a worse night than the Penguins somehow!

An elderly-aged Penguins fan in his bright blue Winter Classic jersey made a fool of himself, and now fans are requesting for him to be banned permanently from PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

It's safe to say the Penguins' season hasn't started as well as they imagined.

Pittsburgh Penguin fan embarrases himself

During the Pens vs Lightning clash, a puck landed in the netting behind one of the netminders and a young fan began banging on the glass, in hopes to secure the game-used puck for himself.

The puck finally fell to the ground, after banging on the glass repeatedly. But he wasn't the one to get the puck for himself, an older-looking elderly man snagged it from the child before the little one could even grab it, causes fans in the arena to boo him.

The older man, according to reports, flipped off (stuck up the middle finger) to the entire crowd that was booing him, including the young fan who wanted the puck.

Videos and photos surfaced online and quickly spread throughout social media, going viral, with every fan reposting and some even stating to "ban the man for life" from the Pittsburgh Penguins' arena.

The aftermath; a Penguins players wife gave the little one an autographed puck, which resulted in another altercation.
