Flashback to 1994. The Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Finals. They're playing the New York Rangers and well, we remember what happened...
So how did the city of Vancouver react to this devastating loss? Well they rioted.
So this year, before game 7, I depicted here that this American Apparel shop was boarding up the windows in case of a riot whether they won or lost. They were right.
Yes there was a riot last night. And my oh my what a riot it was. Pictures can be seen in this Puck Daddy Blog, this facebook page, and this NBC slideshow.
Now people have been discriminating the Canucks and their fans for this terrible thing to do. And their right. This is complete childish behavior to the situation and it is very dangerous. It is unacceptable for fans of our sport to act like this. It shows the rest of the world how stupid we are.
Now granted not ALL Canuck fans were there. Many Canuck fans publicly said they were upset with this behavior and they want people to know that it's not all the Canuck fans. Just some lunatics. But the problem was, there were A TON of lunatics last night in British Columbia.
Stores were looted, cars were destroyed, stuff was lit on fire, fights broke out. Anything bad about a riot pretty much happened last night in Vancouver. Now look at some videos but use your discretion. Stupid people doing dangerous things. Don't try this at home.
And one last picture and I'm done talking about this:
at least HIS team won the Cup
