It was pretty well documented that some Bruins players weren’t exactly kind to Canadiens fans in Montreal on Thursday night, and it appears that Canadiens fans weren’t so hospitable to the Bruins either. One fan, who was presumably pulling for the Habs, brought a laser pointer with them to Bell Center, where they tried their very best to distract Tuukka Rask while the Canadiens possessed the puck in the offensive zone.
Rask let up a season-high five goals, but didn’t seem to place much blame on the unwarranted distraction from the crowd.
Rask on laser: “At me? No. You know, I saw it in the second but it was in the offensive zone. Good thing I didn’t go blind or anything.”

A Detroit Lions fan tried the same tactics(and then bragged about it online) this past weekend and they were rewarded with a lifetime ban from Ford Field. This hockey fan would be wise not to continue to test his/her luck.
Update:
