And the occasional overt stuff - the bananas chucked at Simmonds in Philly and at Weekes in Montreal. And giving some credence to what Kane says, according to some other pro athletes it's pretty bad in Manitoba.

This doesn't change your point, but Philly fans get dumped on enough already, so it's worth pointing out that that happened during a Flyers exhibition game in London, Ontario.
