June 16, 201115 yr Author Congrats Bruins! The "no Stanley Cup in Canada since 1993" curse continues...
June 16, 201115 yr Congratulation Boston Fans. You guys deserved the cup. Just another disappointing year for the Canucks, but we are used to that here. There is always next year... And what happened on the streets after the game does not represent the people of Vancouver.

June 16, 201115 yr Someone posted in a hockey forum that there were 200-300 folks doing the worst things at the riots, and some weren't even from Vancouver. That doesn't represent all fans for sure..... I've heard many stories, from many people, in many venues, about abusive fans. There are always a-holes. There was a ton of booing by Vancouver at the end, but most of that was for Bettman ( ) or Marchand (expected). They gave nice cheers to Thomas and Lucic, which was real nice. I was in tears last night; I had memories of my dad letting me stay up and watch some of the games in 1972 (I was 7) when the Bruins won the cup then. I was pleased and honored to let my son stay up with me for this one..... Thank you Bruins, it was an incredible ride!
June 16, 201115 yr Author It's good to know the post-game riots are not exclusive to Montreal. Well, maybe the ones after a first-round win are. I have to say I enjoyed the Bettman booing very much.

June 16, 201115 yr Author I think they're already there. Honestly, the last Habs player that mastered diving and faking as well as the Sedins was Mike Ribeiro.
June 16, 201115 yr Why not? Since pictures are worth a thousand words, the post riot clean up pictures should speak for itself.
June 16, 201115 yr That just means conflicting things are true at the same time, which is often true about groups of people
June 16, 201115 yr I think they're already there. Honestly, the last Habs player that mastered diving and faking as well as the Sedins was Mike Ribeiro. If you look back on their regular season and previous 3 series against Chicago, Nashville and San Jose, you don't really see any of the embellishment. When you play against a team like Boston, you have to do a little more to show the illegal slashes, crosschecks and spears to the Zebras who are not really making any calls. And sometimes when you get cross checked and slashed at over 30 times a game with no calls, it gets pretty frustrating. They do occasionally embellish like most other star players and it is an embarrassment to the sport but to call the Sedins master divers is grossly incorrect.
June 16, 201115 yr That just means conflicting things are true at the same time, which is often true about groups of people I guess I should reword my original post. What happened last night only represent a small minority of Vancouverites. Its embarrassing to see it happen when many are watching but those people are not real Canucks fans nor real Vancouverites. The clean up that happened in downtown vancouver where many vancouverites attended despite having work and school are the real Vancouverites. They are a more accurate representation of the city as a whole.
June 16, 201115 yr Of course they're not real 'nucks fans. There are no real nucks fans. Not sure why you would make that claim? What would then be the definition of a true fan?
June 16, 201115 yr Not sure why you would make that claim? What would then be the definition of a true fan? Maybe it was to get your Canadian goat.
June 18, 201115 yr It turns out that Thomas' shutout was complete and that absolutely no Canucks scored. Edit: An Aussie might have the next day though. Edited June 18, 201115 yr by guzziguy
June 18, 201115 yr Wow....kind of a neat story. Though the more scandalous one would have been more fun Great parade in Boston today; didn't go, but watched on TV, the crowds looked just incredible!! Edited June 18, 201115 yr by skullguise
