I mean come on, I know hockey is a big thing (I do live in Canada) but when the Flames lost everyone just went home sad. Why the riots?

 

[Hungry Donner]

It looks like there are flames and going home sad this time too!

 

[Reaganomics]

Vancouver fans riot every time they lose the cup. The same thing happened in 1994.

A fire? Just a fire, a few smashed windows, and a flipped car or two? I feel like I should head on up there and help my northern neighbors figure out what a real riot is like.

 

[Snowy Rainbow]

What is wrong with people? Sheesh. I feel sorry for those caught in that area and the police having to respond to the violence.

 

[Canid117]

HAHA I guess sports fans are batshit insane everywhere.

 

[Greatjusticeman]

Holy shit, wow.

And I thought Bronco fans reacted bad after a loss at home...

Hopefully that Bruins fan is alright.

 

[Fishehh]

No, it is just mostly just a group of people who showed up wearing Balaclavas, they were going to try and start a riot no matter what.

Besides, real riots happen during the G8 Summit in Toronto, that stuff if fairly terrifying, 'specially when they decide to light up a police car with ammunition in it in front of your house.. Pretty, though.

Guys.... just be thankful that this isn't Montreal. They'd burn the whole city there if they lost the cup.

 

[Hungry Donner]

4-0, ouch. Well a lot of my friends back home are probably pretty ecstatic right now (I'm from New Hampshire).

I think my friend on Twitter put it best

These rioters are absolute scum. Absolute violent, sadistic cowards. Remember that when the bleeding hearts start complaining about the cops

Not a big fan of Hockey or the riots. And didn't the same thing happen back in '94?

 

[Soviet Heavy]

You guys have never been to Montreal have you?

 

[Reaganomics]

The amazing part is the police were prepared for this and it is still going strong.

 

[pete675]

it only take a few idiot cause trouble

 

[Broken Blade]

Clearly, video games must be to blame for this. *sarcasm*

 

[PunkyMcGee]

I'm sorry, but I've been a Bruins fan my whole life and WE WON!

 

[viranimus]

Wow.. Pot, Prostitution and still rioting?

Sounds like my kinda town. I wont leave the US, but if I had to live anywhere else, You better believe I would be on my way to Vancouver.

Go Rioters!!!!

 

[arsenicCatnip]

Holy shit, wow.

Hopefully that Bruins fan is alright.

Hey now, we rarely riot when the Donkeys lose at home. We just break windows and the occasional Raider fan's nose.

Seriously though, this worries me. I have friends out there who might be on the streets right now in the middle of all this crap.

 

[Greatjusticeman]

Never seen a riot after Bronco games, but I meant more like I thought we were bad aftewards.

I've seen a few scuffles here and there, a lot of yelling, those kinds of things after games when everyone starts walking back to the parking lots outside of Invesco and into Denver.

I guess that happens in every city, though. Teehee.

But hey, Vancouver citizens will need that fiery spirit to fight the Reapers when they come in Mass Effect 3.
