Looks like you got your wish.......Not for Van to win obviously but for the riot!

It seems the political cartoonist for the Calgary Herald had an inkling as to the outcome. :rolleyes:

It's disgusting......Whoever made the comparison to Man Utd fans are bang on.....This looks like a British footie riot, not a hockey game :0( None of this is something to be proud of. These people are giving Vancouver, Ice Hockey and Canada a bad name.

Anyone with cars parked in downtown Vancouver should be nervous.......Even in parking garages....Insane.

Some shenanigans in Boston with fans climbing TD Garden etc...but errr... :lol:

This is hardcore. Police cars on fire, and all sorts. I didn't know the locals had it in them.

Meh, there are lots of anti establishment anarchist types in Vancouver. Much of this is organized by groups of people dressed in black and many non hockey fans who may have bought a jersey. The real Canuck fans are crushed. I feel for the police, they have to respond and work in this crap. I hope they break some skulls tonight. Of course if they try and step in you know there will be whiners who will blame them.
