Saturday night's NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis featured a live performance by Green Day in which lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong dropped several F-bombs.
NBC was prepared as they had the 7-second delay in place for the All-Star game broadcast, so the curses were bleeped for the viewers at home. However, the fans inside the Enterprise Center heard loud and clear as Armstrong used the expletive to urge the fans to get their hands up.
WARNING: There is cursing in these videos. Please make sure the kids aren't around to hear this.

Not sure if this was the look the NHL was going for, but fans familiar with Green Day would not be surprised by this. When you book Green Day for a live gig, what do you expect.
Then again, Jaegermeister is currently the "official SHOT of the NHL". Get it? In that context, maybe the NHL doesn't mind this publicity.
