It's no secret that Bruins fans don't like the Canucks, but some Bruins fans may haven taken their dislike a bit too far.

According to News 1130 in Vancouver, Canucks fans are reporting that they were heckled and abused by Bruins fans during their time in Boston for the Stanley Cup Final.

Marie, a 41-year-old Canucks fan who traveled to Boston to see Game 4, contacted News 1130, and said one teenage Bruins fan tried to stick his finger in her mouth at the TD Garden. She also said a group of teenage boys heckled her outside the TD Garden, cursing and telling her to "go back to Canada." Marie said she was wearing her Roberto Luongo jersey, and fans were yelling derogatory comments about Luongo at her.

Sully, one of Vancouver's "Green Men," said someone spilled a drink on him, kicked him and hit him during Game 4.

Here is an excerpt from Marie's email describing how one Bruins fan tried to stick his finger in her mouth:

"As I was walking to my seats, some teenager came into my personal space and tried to put his finger in my mouth! That was a sign for me to get to my seat and hope that the folks sitting around me would be nicer. Thankfully the guys sitting on the left of me were exceptionally nice and classy. The other fans were ignorant and as cold as ice!"
