Winnipeg Jets defenseman Adam PardyChicago Blackhawks. He went into the corner, just like a defenseman often has to. Then big Blackhawks forward Brandon Bollig delivered a check, like a fourth-line grinder type is supposed to do. Then the pair of them went through the glass.
The glass didn’t break, but landed on the fans in the front row, with a scrum of NHL players on top of it. It probably was not unlike the T-Rex vs. Jeep scene in Jurassic Park, I’d imagine.
However, as Pardy was bent over the glass, a Chicago fan reached over and ripped the helmet right off his head.
Soon after, the triumphant fan placed Pardy’s helmet on his head – Pardy’s sweaty, gross helmet – and gave a few fist pumps to the crowd.
It appeared the newly-helmeted fan’s female companion also dumped beer on Pardy. What a couple.
Pardy did end up getting his lid back and the glass was replaced. No telling what happened to this guy though.
Chicago fans most responsible in the NHL. Safety first! #PardyHelmet #Jets #TSN pic.twitter.com/0mfk28I1nH

In all seriousness, don't do that, fans. Don't ever do that.
