...One needs to go back to 2015 to find any egregious behavior by a city’s hockey fans. When the Chicago Blackhawks won the Cup in 2015, 25 arrests were reported in Chicago

Chicago, color me surprised

You mean hockey fans aren’t known for running around after a big victory, wildly discharging firearms into the air? I am shocked!

Montreal Riot 1993 after the Canadiens won (The last time a Canadian team won The Cup)

In hockey it’s the players who get into brawls. In the NBA it’s the fans who batter, brawl, and burn. Still though, St. Louis is still St. Louis, especially with East St. Louis (Gary, IN on the Mississippi) just across the river.

Hockey is still overwhelmingly a white sport.

The celebrations will get much more “vibrant” once it is enriched with diversity.

I remember when the Islanders won the cup in 1980 the fans took the glass down and stormed the ice. Was actually pretty funny and the players didn’t seem to mind. Pro hockey was a little different back then.

Dude, please.

Good for these fans for not acting like idiots, but acting like the only minority fans of teams engage in that behavior is silly.

College football and european soccer alone shows that the ability to handle yourself after a big match isnt something that whites just “dont do”.

I’ve lived in STL my entire life and seen lots of Cardinal championships and a Super Bowl winner (Stank Roenke can rot in hell for moving the Rams).

I can’t remember any felonious behavior at any of the celebrations.

STL gets a bad rap on crime. Stay away from about 5 square miles in north St. Louis and it is extremely safe and very friendly....a great place to raise a family.

FWIW, East St. Louis (of Vacation fame) is in Illinois.

Yes, and I do remember the fun that took place in both ‘94 (when they lost to the Rangers) and in ‘11 (when Vancouver lost to Boston).

When the University of Minnesota (my alma mater) won back to back national championships in hockey (’02 and ‘03), a large number of students gathered and torched dumpsters, tipped over cars, broke windows and even threw stuff at the police.

The police, of course, weren’t amused and responded with tear gas and also shot pepper ball pellets at them.
