Did they have to climb over a fence?
Islanders fans didn’t riot after their abysmal first half of the 2010-2011 season. We wanted Scott Gordon gone, but Nassau and Uniondale are still there, unscathed.
Sheeseh. I just to party on Granville all the time in my younger days on weekend trips up there for concerts and clubs.
These clowns need to get a life. Talk about taking sports way to seriously.
The Vancouver fans were booing loudly all through the post game Stanley Cup presentation ceremony.
Poor people. Their team really did choke on a big one.
This seems awfully non-Canadian. Eh?
I remember seeing an ep. of World’s Wildest Police Videos showing the post-S.C. Canucks loss and what happened in Vanc. I’d like to hope that many most in that area aren’t like this but there are what Boston Mayor Menino calls “a few
knuckleheads”.
—Comedian Bobcat Goldthwait once talked about how people riot after a sports championship. “I saw a guy turn a car upside down. He looked at me sheepishly and said, ‘(chuckle)
‘Niners”...

>>VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Angry, drunken revelers ran wild Wednesday night after the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-0 loss to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, setting cars and garbage cans ablaze, smashing windows, showering giant TV screens with beer bottles and dancing atop overturned vehicles.
“It’s terrible,” Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said, shaking his head. “This city and province has a lot to be proud of, the team we have and the guys we have in here. It’s too bad.”
>>NBA star Steve Nash, from Vancouver and the brother-in-law of Canucks forward Manny Malhotra, sent a Twitter message imploring the fans to stop the violence. “We’re a great city and have a lot of class. Our team is great and our championship will come. Soon,” Nash wrote.
There were no immediate indications of injuries, although images were shown on television of at least one woman mopping blood from her forehead.
The politeness stereotype has experienced a setback.

Seem to have lost their feed...
Must have been one hell of a game.
This is like when the Canadian girls Olympic team won and then they broke the rules by sitting on the ice, drinking beers and smoking cigars.
Uh oh...If those Canucks fans get Twitter accounts, Obama and Sarkozy may give them air cover.
What do you expect from a sports league that encourages the players to punch the crap out of each other like drunken hooligans while the crowd cheers wildly and the “police” stand around and watch for thirty seconds or more before breaking up the melee? The NHL is the original WWF.
Just imagine the carnage if they had won!
Canadians, by their very nature, are a violent bunch. They and Australians come from penal stock... untrustworthy.
