Penguins Head Coach Gets Into It with Rowdy Sabres Fans Banging on the Glass
During the Buffalo Sabres' 6-3 road win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, there was a bit of drama involving Pens' head coach Mike Sullivan. In light of the fact that the game was in Pittsburgh, two Sabres fans were banging on the glass behind Sullivan and the Penguins, and at some point he simply had enough.
Sullivan engaged the fans and when security got involved, the two were ushered back into their seats, which were a mere three rows back. Their heckling likely didn't stop. And the Pens were losers of five straight heading into this game and held a 3-1 lead in the third period. When the Sabres took the lead with three rapid third period goals, I imagine Sullivan's patience was as thin as it's ever been.
Now, the Pens are winless in six straight games - 0-5-1 - and they currently have a record of 4-5-2. One of the NHL's oldest teams, the Pens don't exactly have a ton of room to leave points on the table. The Metropolitan Division is the tightest in the NHL, with two points separating the 1st and 6th place team.
They had better sort their woes out and fast.
