Not all Canucks fans are like this, but those and other Vancouver residents that don't care about hockey involved in this, absolutely disgraceful.

[Gordie Howe hat trick]

Can you blame them? I know me and my droogs like to do this all the time Detroit risp and all. It is all really horrorshow.

But seriously this is ridiculous. I'm shocked that they actually did this, though I was telling everyone I was talking to that if and when Vancouver lost the cup Canada would explode...sure enough...

[stevkrause]

Absolutely pathetic and disgraceful...

Of course, Detroit looked very much the same back in October of 1984.







It was pretty crazy at "The Corner" that night. Plenty of cars got torched. Not sure if there was a death count higher than normal that night, but there certainly wasn't a lack of idiots celebrating. Just trying to keep some perspective.

ONE car got torched, no stabbings, no reporters beaten up - no perspective necessary. While Detroit fans were indeed being idiotic, that in no way compares to the Vancouver debacle.

Getting laid in the middle of a riot must be the best story ever.

Somebody should photoshop the "This is what we live for" slogan they have been using this playoffs into one of the pics.

Im not going to lie, it looks fun to be in a riot, and just break everything you see, but because I have half a brain I know to stay away. Somebody should make a virtual reality riot game though...

Heard a rumor that the shop owners downtown had hired private security for extra protection. They made the mistake of dressing them up in Luongo jerseys to blend in with the crowd though & were shocked when they couldn't make any saves.

This is just pathetic, being from B.C. it doesn't make me proud what so ever it's childish and these idiots acted like animals with no thought or concern

[kipwinger]

Don't be so hard on the Canadians there fellas. It's got to be frustrating. After hockey season is over in the Deteroit, I just switch into baseball mode without ever missing a gear. What the hell are these poor S.O.B's gonna do until October?

i actually think riots like these are started by a bunch of hooligans who use the sporting occasion and the emotions that come with it to start trouble. they get a kick out of stirring up feelings in others. it reminds me of the soccer hooligans from england who supposedly travel to support the English national team, but go to the world competition just to cause trouble. they don't even bother going to the games, just cause trouble in the cities they are at.

Why is Mike Ribeiro there?

It's the closest he'll ever be to a cup?

[The Secret]

An embarrassment to the NHL and Canada... these fools do not represent the majority of Canadians and this behavior makes me happy they didn't win but I'd put money there would have been the same actions of they had won also. They should have been fighting each other to get their hands on their team that just flushed the season down the toilet.

Congrats B's

Why is Mike Ribeiro there?

I think the better question is who is the girl on the right in the back?

[ogreslayer]

On a lighter note, Ray Ferraro evidently tried to get the riots started before the game by attempting to put his nose through a plate glass window. I would add the twitter link but can't do that from work. See @TSNBobMcKenzie's feed for pics. Hope Landon's got better eyes than his old man.

Good collection of photos.

It isn't hard to notice that there is practically no one over the age of 30 taking part in this. Most of the people were in their twenties or younger.
