Wayne-1 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 didn't know which team to stick this under... http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=A...p&type=lgns Police: Hockey fan threatens Columbus Blue Jackets COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—A passionate hockey fan made physical threats against the Columbus Blue Jackets in a series of phone calls to the team’s arena during a game, police said. Peter Stenzel was arrested Thursday night and charged with inducing panic for threatening physical harm against the team during their 5-0 win over the Calgary Flames, Columbus Police Sgt. Rick Weiner said. Police traced the phone calls to Stenzel’s Columbus home, where they found him wearing a Flames T-shirt, Weiner said. Police would not say if specific players were targeted or what the threats entailed. Stenzel, 52, was being held at the Franklin County Jail pending a Saturday court hearing. Weiner did not know if he had a lawyer. Blue Jackets spokesman Todd Sharrock didn’t comment on the specific incident but said the club has procedures in place to respond to security threats to players and coaches. Columbus and Calgary are potential first-round playoff opponents. The Flames are in third place in the Western Conference with eight games to play, while the sixth-place Blue Jackets are attempting to qualify for their first playoff appearance ever. The top eight teams in the conference will go on to the postseason. - 30 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor123 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yep, apparently he received death threats and didn't come out to the ice when he was announced as one of the three stars of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynch_mtl Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Wow, scary...is this the only time Mason has gotten death threats? Man, I really hope they do something to this guy that keeps him far away from normal human beings. I mean do anything. If this guy is willing to kill someone over the sport they play, who knows what else he can potentially do. Nut job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
