The Green Men, "Sully" and "The Force" made it all the way down to Nashville for the Canucks Game Three against the Predators last night. I must say that these guys are impressive. Not only are they two of the only Nucks fans in the building they are also wearing green spandex bodysuits.
I have followed the Green Men for the last year and a half and it appears that their antics are only now starting to garner the attention of the NHL. Rumor has it that they have been warned about distracting opposition players while they are in the penalty box. Specifically, they have been told not to touch the glass or to do headstands while in their seats. This rumor seems to be confirmed by "Sully" in the above posted interview. He does not say specifically who spoke to him, he only alludes that he recieved word from the NHL.
Should the NHL be policing the action of fans at hockey games? Clearly this is a loaded question. When does the actions of a couple of green men in spandexsuits begin to interfere with the game? This is really hard to decide and may be best left up to the experts.
Below I have posted links to some of the funnier antics of Vancouver's "Green Men." The clip in which they are heckling the Maple Leafs I particularly enjoyed.
