The mystery started with a curious string of questions. How did this fan get a tub of mayonnaise into the arena? We guess there’s no reason not to allow it — although, no food and drink is usually a rule that applies to venues. Could we have hoped that it wasn’t truly mayonnaise and that it was something like whipped cream or ice cream? Probably not — because dipping fries into those would also be a questionable move.
Also, the biggest question: Why?
Can we all agree that this is just. . . unacceptable? Not judging but. . . maybe judging a little bit.
Following the incident, the Stars scored and ultimately won 4-1, but we were still suspicious; we wanted answers.
Then, the truth emerged on Sunday: as per The Athletic’s Sean Shapiro, it was all an act.
And the even bigger twist: it was set up by the Stars themselves — and with undercover Dallas employees posing as Montreal fans to boot.
While the wild story was all just smoke and mirrors, there is relief that this one fan doesn’t genuinely love that much mayo. But hey, you do you, mayonnaise-loving hockey fans. You do you.
Still, the same question remains: why?
