"We have sat in these seats for seven years, and she has worn the same outfit for the last couple of years," the post said. They speculated that the lack of media coverage in previous years had nothing to do with her bodily coverage:

There was some early speculation about whether Rothschild had been planted as a distraction to the other team. There's a history of that sort of thing in hockey.

The last time the Sharks were in the conference finals, someone flashed their player while he was in the penalty box. Also, the last time the Sharks coach was in the Stanley Cup finals, someone put a porn star behind the bench.

Rothschild asked whether the same kind of attention would have been lavished on a man, even a topless one, sitting in the same seat.
