A "rowdy Detroit Red Wings fan"...

Of course, she was just 'unruly' I'm sure.

TAMPA — The Tampa Bay Lightning playoff game got heated Wednesday night when a rowdy Detroit Red Wings fan tried to light the home team's flag on fire as it passed over the heads of 200 people inside Amalie Arena, Tampa police said.

Lena Sinishtaj, 35, of Sterling Heights, Mich., was arrested and charged with first-degree arson.

Sinishtaj was seated in section 103, directly behind the Tampa Bay bench, when the 20 foot by 30 foot Lightning flag passed overhead, a pre-game tradition meant to rile the crowd. Police said she raised a flaming lighter and tried to catch the cloth ablaze, but instead left only burn marks.
