Blue Jackets fan gives Penguins' Hornqvist the double bird

An elderly Blue Jackets fan greeted Patric Hornqvist with a double-bird salute as the Penguins forward was being escorted to the penalty box for a goaltender interference infraction early in the first period.

Nationwide Arena in Columbus has its share of entertaining fans, and its oft-despised goal cannon makes for an already hostile environment, but this guy took it to a new level.

Never a dull moment in Ohio.
