ESPN just showed shit burning in Vancouver...
Cars overturned, fires burning, AND...
Beer flowing and hugs all around in Beantown.
Same shit happened when they lost to the Rangers.

Eat it Canucks.

1. Earlier was listening to the Bruins Network on the radio and a lady from North Vancouver called
She said the riots are even worse in reality than what is being shown on tv...interesting.

She also blames luongo.

5. Hm.
Last year, the Boston Bruins coughed up a three-game lead in the conference finals, and then coughed up a three-goal lead in game 7 of that series and lost it on home ice. Know what everyone in Boston did? They went home.

7. That's nice.
But that's not what happened when the Celtics won the title in 2008, nor when the Red Sox won the series in 2004. It would be ludicrous for Boston fans to think that this could not happen in their city.

8. I watched the Vancouver news for several hours last night
The newscasters were disgusted and embarrassed.

I feel bad for the real hockey fans, who gathered at the live sights, and were hoping to celebrate. Instead, some instigators just started stuff, and when you have 100,000 people and many have been drinking for hours, coupled with a disappointing loss, well, it's a bad recipe.

I know how bad it feels when your team doesn't win, believe me. I don't believe I would riot over it.

10. Well, this should make you feel better -
A Vancouver rioter takes an epic nutshot from an exploding flashbang grenade!
