“This is classic taunting behaviour within the model of a what we call a female chauvinist pig,” Catherine Murray, the chairwoman of Simon Fraser University’s department of gender, sexuality, and women's studies, told 24 hours.
“I don’t know if it’s something many Lower Mainland fans would support.”
The incident happened late in the third period when the woman lifted up her Canucks jersey and pressed her breasts against the penalty box glass.
A source said the woman – who was ejected from the building and upstaged the absent Green Men – was intoxicated and embarrassed by her antics.
While the CBC received a few e-mails about the incident, Canucks hockey blogger Katie Maximick is not amused.
“Thirty-six per cent of the NHL fan base is female, and this woman – who probably isn’t even a real fan but a bandwagon jumper – is setting women back. It doesn’t give female hockey fans a very good rep.”

What planet are these people from? I dunno about anyone else, but every single woman on my FB friends that's commented on this, has enjoyed it. Every. Single. One. Not one negative comment.

The incident was reminiscent of 2004 when euphoric female hockey fans flashed their breasts in the streets when the Calgary Flames were battling for the Stanley Cup against Tampa Bay.
“We are definitely beginning to see some nudity or partial nudity in fan behaviour in soccer, but not in hockey,” Murray said.

"Beginning"??
These women (to use the term loosely) need to come out from under their rocks.
