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. Last edited by MKLKT; 06-16-2011 at 07:48 AM.

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. Steve

 Too bad the fans in van have to be like that. The fans that I saw here were pretty good about the whole thing. I was in the bar rocking Boston gear and no comments were made to me about the best win of the year.

The riot had little to do with the result of the game, win or loose those people came to riot not watch the game. The true fans in the stadium actually surprised me as they all cheered on Boston after the game ended.
