DETROIT (AP) -- An unidentified man was taken down from a conduit above a catwalk during a Detroit Red Wings game on Saturday night. Almost an entire section of stands in the lower bowl was cleared out when the man was noticed during the second period of the Red Wings' 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Joe Louis Arena. After he was removed from the area, fans were allowed to return to their seats. "We didn't know what was going on until somebody pointed it out," Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. Photographers have remote cameras stationed on the catwalk, but no one is usually there during games. "He got in through one of the storage cages and came out through one of the cable traps used for show cables," arena audio engineer Ricky Gopigian said. The players were certainly surprised."I don't know what the guy was trying to do or anything," Los Angeles forward Anze Kopitar said. "It's the first time I've seen that."

So this is really a non story except for the minor fact that this dude was probably trying to kill himself because he lost his job at Ford and his Babies' Momma has student loans and no prospects. Chick is most likely trying to be a nurse or public schools' teacher and that means season tickets ain't in the future no more. It is also relevant because some chick reporter from LA commented on the incident by saying "Only in Detroit", implying we got some crazy epidemic of assholes getting shitcanned and climbing stuff. Give me a break, this is always the type of shit that Detroit gets pegged for. Lets be real, there is a 99% chance this dude is white and from the suburbs considering he's at a hockey game. The media needs to get off Detroit's jock.
