this is "Canada's Game "

what a joke

Yeah, terrible certain fans reacted that way.

Even more ridiculous that the cops seemed to just watch.

Unfortunately, Boston fans can't really talk though. We definitely had our own idiots rioting when various teams won championships over the years. I guess we got it out of our system, but its still no OK.

pretty sure in that situation they have no choice. They dont wanna die.

Slap upside the head

Must have been one of the Sedin's twins vehicles.

The most troubling part of that whole thing was the tossing of perfectly good beer bottles at
television screens. Now that is sacrilegious.

Rioting in the streets must be something new for you Americans to witness, I guess.

Funny, all of the times that the Wings have won the cup recently and no riots, no looting, no nothing in Detroit.....



....and we have the bad reputation. Hmmmmm............

Yeah, I get your point. They clearly weren't adequately prepared to deal with what happened though.

UGH
seriously
sorry i hate to sound rude but anyone who doesn't realise what this was and the logistics of it is a complete moron. sorry, but you are if you think that this was a representation of the people of vancouver or the fan base of the canucks.

what it was was people (mostly idiot teenagers or people my age) heading downtown for the sole purpose of causing trouble... they knew what happened in 1994 and were going to do this shit WIN or LOSE.

Its been said so many times, tough to judge the entirety by the stupidity of a select few.

I am guessing most of those folks couldn't distinguish a "blue line from a clothesline" ... just lugnuts out to break shit. Somehow, this gives them an excuse.

It's easy and convenient for someone sitting on a computer hundreds or even thousands of miles
away to read the news, see the pictures and then feel the need to make a post about it on the
internet because they know others who are just as uninformed will rally around them and agree.

It's the nature of the internet and more specifically, this messageboard.

There are those of us that are fully aware of what went down and understand that this sort of thing
can happen anywhere, anytime and it's ALWAYS the due to a few morons who have nothing better to
do with their time.
I live in Toronto and if anyone thinks what happened at the G20 riots last year is indicative of the general
population here is just obtuse.

Vancouver and it's people are beautiful, peaceful humans beings and shouldbe proud of their city.

They also have some of the best weed on the planet.

The looting and rioting in Detroit is reserved for Halloween

it was an interesting night but really not as dangerous as everyone was making it out to be.
as long as you stayed out of the 2 intersections it was mostly at you werent in serious harm.
my friend and i chilled down by the water for at least an hour and it was pretty pleasant.

you can only do so much when your team scores so few goals all series.
