    Vancouver riots again.

    I'm embarrassed to be a Canadian hockey fan at the moment. Disgusting behaviour. I'm really saddened by this.

    I can't for the life of me understand why they haven't busted out the rubber bullets after 2 hours of this bull ****.

    Disgusting!!!
    It's an utter disgrace.
    Same thing happened when they choked to the rangers in 94.
    Congrats to Boston they earned the cup!!!

          Hey, they take that stuff seriously over there... The Canadians have hockey, the British have soccer, the French have that bicycle race, and we have Obama.

                Ah - I don't even know if hockey is the issue - and I hate hockey.

                It's a group of wasters with no sense. Unfortunately every city probably has a lump of idiots like this.

                  As a Canadian I'm embarrassed. We should be better then that. We shouldn't be rioting over a game...

                  I don't follow sports but my girlfriend made me watch last nights game. (lol) And Vancouver had their butts handed to them. Boston deserved it. They played well and they played as a team. Simple.

                  And there is no shame in coming in second. They still had to beat all those other teams.

                    That's true but i'm trying to imagine if the USA has a sport they care about so much --- meaning enough to riot over.

                    I really can't think of one ... not even fooobowl

                      I'm not embarrassed at all. I don't associate myself with those idiots in any way.

                      I'm told the Vancouver stadium mostly applauded Boston after they got the cup. Most people are classy. These are the dregs, and we have dregs in every country.

                        With all due respect, you are TOTALLY kidding yourself.

                        There's been plenty of riots in American sports. Including high school and college sports events and certainly after Super Bowl games.

                        Do some googles!!!

                          Yeah, around here kids used to riot after Ohio State football games - win or lose, which I never understood. The police & school administration put a lid on that after a while. Now, the kids have big street parties in the spring. 2,000 kids get drunk, the police gas 'em, and everyone points fingers.

                            The riots weren't necessarily started by hockey fans. The latest report I heard were that the riots were started by anarchists that showed up wearing Canucks jerseys to blend in but they brought masks and gasoline. I think they probably would have provoked a riot win or lose.
