A fan attending a game USHL game decided to harass Martin Pospisil of the Sioux City Musketeers. Pospisil, one of the top prospects of the Calgary Flames, was in no mood.
In the video we embedded below, Pospisil had to twice be restrained from attacking the fan before he was eventually dragged off to the dressing room.

The fan was far from innocent. He threw something at Pospisil and even before then was clearly was going well beyond what’s normally deemed as acceptable heckling.
On the other hand, Pospisil definitely lost his cool. Even if the attack was justified, getting into a fight with a fan would be a very bad look.
All in all, we’d say that everyone involved should be quite happy that Pospisil was restrained before things escalated any more.
