Bunch of amateurs. You riot when you WIN, not when you lose.

Not so fast. It'sbeen confirmed that all the rioters were american tourists. :PWell, on the plus side, at least this dispels the myth that all Canadians are annoyingly polite... :P

It was actually football that was outlawed, which at the time referred to all games played on foot.

That's what LOSERS do anyway.
[QUOTE="dissonantblack"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdkPZrGL21I Except that he didn't mean to hit him into that divider so it's not even the same thing.good riddance. between the repeated attempts to injure Bruins players with headshots, Burrows biting Bergeron's finger, arrogance, and sense of entitlement to the stanely cup, i was happy to see Boston defeat the Canucks in a landslide victory. But this is absurd. These fans are making the beautiful city of Vancouver, which was such a great and hospitable host for the Olympics out to be some kind of trashy ghetto. it's no wonder they're one of the NHl's most hated teams.

fitting. the people act just like their team. a bunch of whiny, cheating immature p***ies. mamelon2012Yeah nice generalization there buddy. Is your pedestal comfy? From the way you typed you'd probably be someone who rioted as well. Do not judge my city, do not disrespect my team. The people who caused this riot are drunken idiots. There are idiots all over the world.
People have to realise that these people aren't the fans. The real fans wouldn't do this anywhere... except Montreal
What's the big deal, Canadians Riot over hockey all the time. Hell, Montreal will riot when it's still the regular season.

Tell me about it.:P I'm tempted to go downtown just once to see the mess if we manage to get as far as we did back in 2010.:P
I mean it's terrible and all but man Montreal is serious about Hockey. Then again we haven't won since the friggin' early 90's so yeah... Hungry fans.:P
I think it was not smart for them to riot, there's always next season for them. HexedPelicanNah Vancouver will just go back the losing ways they've done for so long. Just a lucky year.
It wasn't a small group by any means lol...I was in there in the thick of it. It was just insanity.[QUOTE="bri360"]
Mayor of Vancouver - "We had a great run in the season, lots of celebration but tonights actions are despicable. This does not represent the city of Vancouver".
Lets just hope the rest of the world believes this statement...
It was a small group of idiots that came with the intent to do damage. Absolutely pathetic... I am not proud to be from vancouver today... This is not how canadians roll.

Ya but most were just spectators that shouldnt of been there. I was refering to the ones that started it all. The rest was just mob mentality and it escalated.

This was pretty amazing ...

Yeh, you won't see that very often. :P
Isn't Vancouver up there with Vienna and Zürich in terms of cities with the highest quality of life?
If the Heat won, there might have been.I was hoping for riots post NBA finals, but this will do...
