I really hope this happens.

Though, did you see the cops have been getting pointers from the UK police? if there's no riot I am blaming you lot.

We're on a higher floor so it'd be interesting to watch. Luckily some of the fatties wearing canucklehead shirts won't be able to throw that far and would probably be out of breath picking up the rock.

Win or lose I predict absenteeism will be very high tomorrow.

Can you believe the price of those replica shirts? In the UK you only have to pay about 40 pounds to make grown men look like complete knobheads.

When I look at 99% of those wandering around downtown today with canucks jerseys on you can tell these people aren't even ice hockey fans, let alone the sort of people that have enough passion to riot. Lets face it, what we have here is the canadian equivalent of man utd.

There'll probably be a riot in Boston either way :D

It would be churlish to not hope for a Vancouver win; especially as the rest of Canada seems to hate the canucks and there is an element of rubbing their faces in it. Although I think I'll avoid the local news for the next six months if they do win.

Apparently they've closed all the liquor shops at 4:00pm bolted down all the traffic bollards and removed newspaper machines and other objects that could be thrown about. Shops are boarding up their windows, should be a good show. :thumbup:

I hope that doesn't apply to MR. I've got no beer in the house and was going to pick some up on the way home.

Oh dear, those Bruins look to be in control. And Jabba's in line for the Conn Smyth too. I don't think I'm that important but this is clearly starting to look like a conspiracy to have a go at me back becasue of this thread.

Best hope now is for a serious riot in Vancouver.
