Default Vancouver Fans

The unfortunate part is that the fans would've likely rioted even if they had won. They are the real losers, & as stated I am one very happy e-pat from B.C. LOSERS. Maybe it's because they don't have jobs or the cup.

Just embarrassing to say the least. Here vancouver fans were saying canadians need to cheer for Vancouver as it is a Canadian team, yet Vancouver is disgracing our Canadian name. The game is over, go home already

don't think it's right calling the fans rioters. The rioters are a special class of people.

Those aren't fans. Just a bunch of bored idiots.

Fair enough, I didn't mean to stereotype. I started typing way to fast, my bad. I guess there's just more of that "class" of people in Van. than other Canadian cities that have had similar type "Incidents" in recent history.

Very true, Calgarys run for the cup had the red mile, very few incidents other than the famous Flames Girls.com website, Edmonton had some minor issues with there White Ave, few more problems but nothing on this scale that Vancouver has today.

I would reeally like to jump all over these losers as Canuck Fans and label them all.
Unfortunately it is only a very small percentage of Vancourites that are causing all the problems.
Whata total bunch of losers. Don't they know that there is facail recognition software that the police are using. Christ, it was only a friggin hockey game.

I was downtown and watched from the 34th floor of the Scotiatower. I saw the people who were coming downtown to watch and I can assure you that they were NOT Vancouverites (from out of city, etc.) and there was not sufficient prevention of liquor/drug consumtion in the areas with large crowds.

And like the smaller incident that happened last year in the olympics there were prepared anarchists with weapons/tools ready to cause destruction regardless of what happened. They were never there to watch the game.

Don't lump real fans in with this shameful behaviour. Everyone I know who's been a lifelong fan isn't involved in this.

There have also been riots and other incidences in most other Canadian cities during the playoffs. The layout of Downtown Vancouver and the way it's kind of locked in by bridges/viaducts doesn't help with dispersing people either.

the problem is that while cars were being flipped and turned on fire there were thousands of people watching and cheering. (just watched the footage) it wasn't a small group involved it was thousands involved. even if you are there and watched with out trying to stop something or leaving you are part of it, so realy the only innocent people were the ones that left when they saw it going on or ones who tried to stop it to some degree.

edmonton the cops brought out the firedepartment and turned the hose on us and we left... the vancouver cops let this go way to long befor breaking it up.

And what do you figure would have happened to any one of those thousands on the sidelines who tried to intervene?

think you would have?
