Detroit was worse than Vancouver. The 1984 post-Tigers riot is considered one of the first modern day sports riots. The city practically burned to the ground. Seven people were killed in the riots post-Pistons NBA title in 1989. Although thankfully these don't compare to the deadly European soccer riots, Detroit is nonetheless considered the birthplace of modern riots.I am too young to remember 1984, but I don't think it was anywhere near as bad as Vancouver last night. That looked more like LA in 1992, or Detroit in 1967.
There must be something in the water in Vancouver, or maybe it's all the wackjobs beautiful places like that tend to attract.
That said, the many championships, or shortfalls since then, have produced nothing but respectable conduct from Detroit and the burbs. Vancouver should take note at how the Wings and their fans conducted themselves after losing at home two years ago.
New season, New start! May the force be with the Wings this time!

Old punch lines die hard, don't they?
So you knew it was coming after hearing about Wednesday's rioting in Vancouver after the Canucks lost to Boston.
"Vancouver is now the Detroit of Canada," tweeted Rainn Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute on NBC's "The Office."
• Related: Ron Dzwonkowski wonders what if Detroit had rioted like Vancouver
Somebody had to say it. But couldn't a professional funny man come up with a more recent reference?
Detroit's riot was in 1984, after the Tigers won the World Series. Fans have behaved themselves since, win or lose, while other cities have rioted, yet it always comes back to haunt us.
Besides, if Vancouver really were the Detroit of Canada, maybe it would have a Stanley Cup.
Wilson tweeted again later: "Wow, I (ticked) off a lot of Vancouverites and Detroit folk. In penance I'm going to tip over my Prius and set fire to it."
In with the old?
Hockeytown seems ready to embrace change, as long as it doesn't involve Nicklas Lidstrom.
Asked if the Red Wings should cut ties with Kris Draper and Chris Osgood, 65.7% of the first 2,500-plus voters in a freep.com poll said yes.
In another poll, 61% were in favor of signing Jaromir Jagr, 39.
Mike Babcock, meanwhile, told WDFN he hopes two new assistants will help shake things up.
"Your players get tired of you," he said. "You become like Charlie Brown's teacher -- wah, wah, wah -- they don't hear anything. So we need change."

I am not too young to remember the 1984 "riot." Please find me any evidence whatsoever that it even came close to the shenannighans of Vancouver. And NO ONE died in 1989. I have searched high and low for articles or photos, but nothing I find supports your claims, so it's not just memory loss on my part. Please be careful what you spread around without support.Detroit was worse than Vancouver. The 1984 post-Tigers riot is considered one of the first modern day sports riots. The city practically burned to the ground. Seven people were killed in the riots post-Pistons NBA title in 1989. Although thankfully these don't compare to the deadly European soccer riots, Detroit is nonetheless considered the birthplace of modern riots.
That said, the many championships, or shortfalls since then, have produced nothing but respectable conduct from Detroit and the burbs. Vancouver should take note at how the Wings and their fans conducted themselves after losing at home two years ago.
Can't wait to read the "Phoenix: I still think it's a hockey market" chapter of Gary Bettman's autobiography. I'm guessing it's going to be chapter 11.

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

That's just embarrassing, Vancouver. Although I would have expected similar riots had the Canucks won.

All of this is disgusting. I know they were in Canada and Hockey was born there and the Cup too but there is no call for any of this. It reminds me of a few years ago when Montreal won it's first playoff series in some time and some Habs fans were rioting. That is sheer stupdidity on a platter it's not passion for the game it's stupid and uncalled for. I have no respect for any Candian fans who do that kind of stuff. I'm so glad the Bruins won the Cup Canada and it's fans don't deserve it.

Yes, in front of the cops, while puckering up for a kiss.Is she being raped..?
cusimano_brothers link kinda went ignored -- was her boyfriend and she was injured by the cops and their shield being at the wrong place at the wrong time, boyfriend was comforting her.
I lol'd at the Waldo thing. I was trying to find Waldo but instead saw something I didn't want to see. Now if you'll excuse me, I will go wash my eyes out with some pictures of nude womanz, preferably in santa hats or some Waldo-related attire while using the Men in Black de-neuralyzer or maybe some vodka to shed my memory of such vile things.
