Is the post-game rioting more of a west coast thing? I can't recall anything like that happening on this side...
There are people who feel entitled as well as a large contingent of activisits who have other agendas.
Also, take into account we generally are alot more lax in terms of law enforcement and also have a wider applications of rights and freedoms.
Combine all of that with a naive and ill-prepared mayor who didn't take all of the precautions he should have and you have a disaster.
I think it could have easily been prevented. Part of the problem is that we have a general outlook here that people are good versus a more reality-based outlook that should have prevailed especially after previous Game 7 Stanley Cup
My favorite post game camera shot was of Ryan "I hate Canadians" Kesler crying like the little pussy that he is.....Karma is a bitch, Ryan, maybe you should keep your fucking mouth shut....Vancouver fans need more than a Nash or Iginla type forward, they need a reliable goalie.....Luongo is too inconsistent, and chokes big time come playoffs....
Kesler is the only Canuck who played well last night. Nothing but love for Kesler
Congrats to the Bruins.... (It's about time after 40 fucking years....
Frankly, glad the season is over... Will be happy when this Penguins fan sees 87 and 71 on the ice together once again.... Pens had a legitimate shot at the Cup again until the injuries happened....

Agreed. Maybe the league will somehow formulate a consistent policy around headshots. IMO the one against Crosby was clearly intentional. Nothing happens by accident at this level of hockey.
He was having an unbelievable year.
dupe.

Bettman may not be the best, but he is not the worst....Hockey is by far the greatest sport in the world, and the NHL is good, but could stand to cut a few teams (Ducks, Predators, Atlanta/Winnipeg, Panthers, Blue Jackets, Devils)

Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!
dude that flag in your avatar? WTF is that?
German flag.....
You had me right up until that last part...
Yes...it is most certainly a Neo-Con plot...somehow this will used to take away rights and destroy the left.
All those rioters were undercover Conservative operatives............
Turns out the riot was a planned event by the same Anarchist Organizations that didi much the same during the Olympics.
This time they had a crowd of 100,000 to incite...some hooligans jumped at the chance of course.
This was planned:

Part of the problem is our justice system. I don't want an American style system by any means, but currently the penalties are way too lax. There are huge concerns that even if these people are caught, there will be little done to punish them.
yet a dui is felonious......
Oh no dude, Montreal fans make Vancouver fans like amateurs....
Not everyone was rioting last night:
Must have been Bruins fans!
ace and kristy?
Even Bruins fans were scoring in Vancouver last night.
Someone's parents are so very proud!Not everyone was rioting last night:

Well, at least one Buffalo owner of a major sports franchise is celebrating a major championship --since the 1960s at least.

Damn! For one night, Vancouver just made Detroit look like Mayberry!This never happens when the Red Wings either lose or win the stanley cup, because the police aren't as nice in Vancouver and nobody wants to spend the night in a Detroit jail.
For many, a Vancouver jail might be a step up.Damn! For one night, Vancouver just made Detroit look like Mayberry!
Nice pic Warham!!
I can't claim credit for it. I found it on a hockey board.
Yeah, the same "anarchists" who kick in Starfucks windows, still holding a $5 cup of corporate coffee in their hands (see WTO "riots", Seattle 1999)
Those fools carried government badges. Bet on it.
Stevie is drunk with power after his last election. He wants a Canadian "patriot act". Just remember what followed the staged WTO "riots" within less than 2 years.
It's coming, my Hoser friends.... don't let it happen.

Not quite. This was on my local news at dinnertime...
Neighbors: Woman uses truck to tear off front of Detroit rental home
Tom Greenwood/ The Detroit News
Detroit would never be mistaken for the Biblical city of Jericho, but a wall certainly tumbled down on the city's west side early Tuesday morning. Facing eviction, a woman — believed to be an angry tenant — used a truck and a heavy duty chain to pull down the front of a rental home in the 9300 block of Sussex about 2 a.m.
"We heard all this noise in the middle of the night but didn't think anything about it," said Marcus Todd, 13, who lives next door.
"Then the next morning, we all saw that the front of the house was gone. It was in great shape, too; they really kept it nice."
The house didn't look so nice Tuesday afternoon: The front of the home rested askew on the front lawn so any passerby could look directly into the living room.
There were holes punched in the wall and broken windows on the sides of the home. Furniture and siding lay scattered on the driveway next to the home.
"The basement is flooded," said Darion Perryman, 12, who lives across the street from the house. "And there are clothes and toys still in the house."
Todd said the tenants were a man, a woman and the woman's teenage daughter. Neighbors said they saw a woman, believed to be the tenant, chain a truck to the house.
"They were really pleasant people," Todd said. "They'd lived there longer than I've been alive."
According to tax records, the owner of the home lost it in a tax foreclosure in 2010 after failing to pay 2008 property taxes. The home was then bought at the Wayne County Treasurer's tax sale in October for $3,000 by a company called Angel Haus.
Records show the home is owned by the Angel Group LLC, which could not be reached for comment.
I hear you Ford. I don't think it will. I am a bit scared after what happened to the Liberal party this year, but people are still aware of the perils of following the US in the law and order agenda.Stevie is drunk with power after his last election. He wants a Canadian "patriot act". Just remember what followed the staged WTO "riots" within less than 2 years.
It's coming, my Hoser friends.... don't let it happen.
This was an organized event by the radical Anarchists...from Vancouver and elsewhere in neighbouring States and Provinces.
They had gas masks, Mohlatov Cocktails...you name it. They were strategical during the Olympics but there was a boatload of security and police there and a calmer, more mature crowd who would not join in.
They orchestrated a well-planned event and had some eager, ignorant cooperaters in the mayhem.
Today, there were hundreds of volunteers helping to clean up the mess
This is exactly what these faux-"anarchists" do. They pick a huge gathering of people, like the WTO demonstrations in Seattle in 1999, or like the hockey game last night. 99.99999% of the people (in both cases) are there for legitimate and peaceful purposes, whether celebrating (or mourning, in this case) the outcome of a game, or marching in favor of organized labor and against corporate greed, as was the case in Seattle.
Suddenly you have a small handful of assholes committing violent acts, and it distorts the entire event.
Who benefits? The ones who want a population cowering in fear.
Its scary out there. I think there are some there who truly believe that somehow they should just have a house and not have to work for it...destroy everything and then magically everything will be reborn like the Phoneix rising...
You may have something here though.
LOL That's rather tame, compared to what tenants usually do over there. Which is either set the house on fire or kill the landlord.
I actually almost got into hockey this year but until they bring it to seattle one day ... just heard about the riot myself 150 peeps 100 got cited or some shit ... It was a killer series and wondering if da canucks are loking for a new goalie yo ...
