Gerrit Cole may have had too much fun at the Penguins game

Pittsburgh Pirates ace Gerrit Cole hasn't had the best week at work. After taking the loss in Monday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs, he watched his squad get swept in dominant fashion.

That's not good. However, like all people who find happiness in life, Cole was able to leave his work troubles behind and enjoyed a fun night of hockey with his fellow Pittsburgh Penguins fans.

As you can see, Cole was front and center at the Consol Energy Center sporting his Sidney Crosby jersey for Game 4 of the Penguins' series against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

Based on all of the photos and videos that were taken, it seems he had a really good time.

In fact, he may have had too much fun getting in on booing and heckling Washington's players, because at one point an usher had to calm him down. 

According to some witnesses, Cole's heckling is what got him reprimanded. Others have suggested he was pounding on the glass too aggressively, presumably with his pitching hand.

This above video suggests it's the ladder, while the video below would suggest it's both. You can see Cole in the black jersey right next to Washington's bench pointing and perhaps not saying the kindest things, but at least he's not pounding the glass with his pitching hand.

We don't know what was said, but we can assume it was colorful.

Either way, no one was harmed in Gerrit Cole's night at the hockey rink. Well, unless you count the Washington Capitals pride. The Caps took Cole's insults, then they took a heart-wrenching 3-2 loss in overtime, and now they're trailing the series three games to one.
