I love Vancouver, I love this city so much, and these assholes are destroying it over a game! Im so made right now

No it really doesn't.

Unless you're from LA or Boston. Vancouver ain't got shit :O

No, fuck the dumbfuck assholes butthurt and rioting in the street.

Yeah, I saw that. They're being retarded here in Boston too and they didn't even lose.

maybe hockey needs to be banned

only after soccer gets banned, I would say Soccer can outdamage Hockey in riotings

Yeah, I was just gonna say... soccer fans are pretty bad too.

Although heck, fighting is essentially encouraged in hockey, so... who knows.

I'm sure red wings fans have had their moments too (I'm in Detroit) but yeah. Dumb people suck.

Sports in general when the red sox won some game... can't remember what there was rioting and someone actually died from getting shot off the green monster by riot police.

apparently 3 people died in this riot so far

LA and Boston know how to riot, especially when good shit happens. Vancouver has nothing on them.

2004, anyone?

Soccer's at least just as bad, if not worse. :P

Soccer hooligans are the worst ever anywhere in the world :(

Im not a hockey fan. But I agree on both statements

On soccer: Id set shit to fire too if I wasted my time watching a game that ended at 0-0 with players going down with nearly fatal stubbed toes every 5 minutes...

But if you then the Canucks fans are bad, you have never been to Philly LOL!

but why get so outraged? Its a game why cant they jsut go "oh that was bad lets go home"

I agree, I can see why there mad being the best all year and coming up short but rioting is just unnecessary.

Because sports focuses on the concept that "One team MUST loose". And no one likes to be a looser. And too many people suck themselves in so emotionally, so completely, that they feel the loss personally. That, and they are stupid cunts. :) The OSU football riots several years ago was just.. man, what a bunch of idiots. they did that several weekends in a row.

People are passionate.

LOL, your name is HockeyWolf, I wonder on which side of this debate you fall.

j/k I just thought that was funny.

It wasn't a debate, I'm just saying people are passionate. I'm watching a live stream of the riots scared to death.

Well, people above you were debating whether or not they should ban hockey, next thing I see if your name, I thought it was funny anyway.
But as I said, j/k (Just kidding) I didn't actually mean anything by it, just thought the situation was funny.

I'ma passionate! I'ma steal that bigscreen TV!

k bro

passionately stupid :p

oh you are from Boston? Terribly sorry about the rudeness and shabby treatment your fellow Bostonian's dealt with here!

The more I watched the stream you posted, I'm starting to realize that this isn't canuck fans doing this. Its the same anarchist group that tried to ruin the olympics using the situation as cover and sort of feeding off the crowd. The news anchors pointed the the fact that in the middle of every scene there was a few people in all black and a bandana starting everything.

I'm sorry Vancouver got turned into a warzone.... its kinda scary :/

OH really now?! Interesting.. Yeah, people like that need to be shot. they don't contribute anything of value to society.

Oh no, that ain't hockey. That's sports! Period!

Like football season, if they're not done with this strike thing before the beginning of the season, mother fuckers will probably start killing people. You see some football fans that, if the season starts like a week later than it did last year and they can't stop twitching.

Yeah, I think we could do without them. But you know, sports don't make people violent. It's video games that do that.

vid games and homosexuals.

You know it, and the feminists. Hippies, liberals . . . Satan! Can't forget him.

I never see anyone get this bad due to video games, with the exception of that youtube kid :)

Exactly!

You mean the WoW one? His other freak-outs are nearly as amusing. :P

fanatics, all of em... i am disapointed in them all, boston fans and new york fans are more mature than this.

Boy do i feel bad for you D:

I'm safe over here in the prairie... Everybody's pissed on Facebook too. Keep your eye on your car =P

HAH who can afford a car?

Yea, definitely disappointed in the way the people downtown are acting - disgusting.

It's a pussy riot. Bunch of children throwing a fit. LA knows how to riot!

Fucking hockey.

Werent the LA riots over the beating of Rodney King? At least that's something worth being upset about, this is just a stupid god damned game.

They'll pretty much riot if the Lakers win too.

At least it's not as bad as the Nika Riots, right? :U

Seriously, I hate seeing sports fans act like vandals over a simple game. To much passion.

Not passion, Neanderthal retardation is the phrase I would use

Jimpeh. You're on every random fur's site I happen to click on.
How many people DO you know? X3

I guess I get around? :D

I live just on Vancouver island... I hate hockey, can't stand the redneck fans and can't stand its the only shit we pay attention too as a sport and I have already been more than annoyed at all the jock morons we got out here who go on like "wooo canucks.. werdeh numba one!" and it looks like we are the BIGGEST piss poor sore losers this side of Canada! to the collective of my fellow BC-ers I have this to say.

Congratulations you beer swilling, car burning and probably inbreeding jocks, this is why we can't have nice things! Cause the lot of you cry and burn cars when "your team" (your team as in you drink beer and act like your somehow part of the actual team) Loses.

That pisses me off too... when they talk about the tema like they are part of it "We lost this we won tha,t we are doign well blah blah blah," UGH Ill have al ot less tolerance for this in the future

How someone can have pride in something that they have absolutely NO part in still escapes me. I can be a proud Canadian, I love my country and I am a citizen. I am a proud owner of "insert car here" because I own and drive said vehicle, but sports.. unless you are playing on the team or in some way actually associated with them its kinda like acting like you are related to a celebrity because you like their acting.

its obnoxious this explains it best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN1WN0YMWZU

That his it to a perfect T haha

I only really follow Formula 1. No rioting there that I can remember! :P

rioting is fun wtf you peopel talking about

Gotta say that I agree. I'm pretty disappointed in those folks downtown right now. It wasn't even a close game 7. The people who are throwing a fit probably don't even care we lost, they just thought it was a good excuse to act like idiots.

Whatever happened in the game, its just a game, not a good enough reason for this shit.

How ironic because I had just changed my MSN quote to "Perhaps I should become a hockey fan, I could use an excuse to set shit on fire and punch people" hahah

I'm glad to be a UFC fan

This is just insane! Hope you guys are doing alright!!!

Yeah we are doing fine! :)

It's only a couple of drunk fans. And screw Boston. Vancouver fans didn't call Boston fans faggots.

did you see the live feed? its a massive riot

Mob mentality. Plus, the police were late in enforcing things.

Also, you have to understand that it's been 18 YEARS since a Canadian team won the Cup. It's a matter of national pride. Pride that's been continually ripped away by teams based in the US (Carolina, Tampa Bay, Anaheim) that frankly have no business having a hockey team.

18 years is a long time to be seeing a Canadian-based trophy going south of the border time after time.

I think the worst part, isn't the property damage. There were Bruins fans just watching the game as it's their right to do so, and these fuckers just started beating on them. That's the part that really sickens me.

Yeah, way to make people feel welcome. I hate these people so much I dont even know what to think of them

I mean if sports can kill your empathy that hard, something's wrong with you.

Its a combination of Sports, Alcohol, Lack of Brain Power, and basic stupid primitive mob mentality

I stopped watching the game just going into the 3rd period. I was going for Vancouver, cause hey, I'm Canadian. I was slightly disappointed that they were going to lose since it has been 18 years since a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup.

You are the first news I've seen of this rioting and disgusting display in Vancouver (I am way in MB). I say they DESERVE to lose if they are going to act so outrageously. They did a great job on the Winter Olympics and this display shows complete opposite.

Congrats Boston. Your goalie is fucking amazing, haha.

Well its not the teams fault that their fans are a load of pricks, maybe they should move to a city with more responsible fans. And yes, the fans deserved to lose

Yes, the fans deserve to lose. I am looking at more pictures today. Shocking.

People who externalize their self-worth will always be insufferable pricks, whether they do it through sports, religion, the things they own, the music they listen to, the gossip they gather, the stars they idolize; it doesn't really change things. It's an irrational phenomenon that leads to irrational behaviour.

raiders fans are almost as bad i just think sprts in genreral should be banned
>8)

Half the city is on fire, I cant believe how ridiculous these people are

fanatics are fanatics its were the name comes from
people should be jailed

They will be jailed, they are doing all this shit right in front of the camera crews

I don't get it at all. I love Canada for real, but this sort of shit is Jeckyll and Hyde (Canadians are normally so even-tempered and level-headed in my opinion). Why so much violence over A SPORTS EVENT?! It's not life and death, it's a game. I would like a giant glove to slap the stupid shit out of anyone who feels the need to riot over sports. If sports define a society, then I want to find another planet to live on.

I dont understand it at all, these people should be castrated to prevent their worthless genes from infecting the nexct generation

I'm ashamed to be living within 30 miles of a city that has such an unchecked hooligan element, I hope they ban every big party event for the next 5 years, no Fan Zones, no fireworks or anything where these anarchistic fuckers can go out and do this sort of shit. . . Right now the only sense of dignity that I can claim is that I have been a Calgary Flames fan since 1986.

Maybe they should jsut ban the Stanley cup, every time that thing comes up we get a riot, whatever this "Stanley Cup" thing is, its clearly dangerous.

Its the new riot drug, see how good it works?

You're right! Let's all go nuts over a sport where you get a point for losing.

Maybe Ave's fans are just too drunk whenever they lose. I can't remember the last time Denver went up in flames over a team. ...Actually, I can't remember ANY time Americans have started a riot over sports.

Detroit never Ever Roit once we win the titles

1984 World Series?

Detroit never Ever Roit once we win the titles

Yup.

I'm not overly surprised over the riot considering when it comes to competitive sports in general people will riot for one of three reasons, 1) Their team lost, 2) Their team won and 3) They just wanted to riot anyways. Doesn't even need to be over sports either, I've heard of people being trampled in a stampede of shoppers way back when the Cabbage patch dolls were a fad for kids. Moral of the story, a crowd of excited people is a scary and dangerous thing, avoid these and you may live to a ripe old age.

Turns out most of the trouble makers where jsut there for looting, loads of the stolen stuff appeared on craigslist

Rampaging tribal rivalries disguised as good, healthy sport!

Fuck hockey? Have you ever seen a Manchester United riot?

Blame sports for rioting, but there's always going to be dicks waiting around for an excuse to light a police car on fire. Today it just happened to be Game 7.

I wish I had the same kind of passion that would get me riled up enough about a hockey game loss to riot.

You do realise it has nothing to do with the sport and everything to do with people in general being fucking idiots right? And the bigger the crowd the more riled up people get and do things they normally wouldn't do. There have been studies. I forget what the effect is called but yeah. Basically it means humans are fucking stupid assholes and they become more stupid and even bigger assholes as a group. To say this is hockey or any sports fault is stupid and pointless. As it is not the problem. The problem is the assholes. This wouldn't be any different if you change the sport to Soccer or whatever else you want to.

THANK YOU. This is what it's about.

yeah I know, I saw loads of canucks fans helping clean up today, so I guess the Cliche about it being a small number of trouble makers is actually true

Sat up and watched the game - I never thought there'd be a riot over the loss.
There are no excuses for it. The people participating and the ones who started it are fucking morons, just like anyone who starts a riot over sporting event.

And honestly? Pisses me off seeing people above me in the journal taking shots at football (soccer) and hockey and how dumb the people into it are.

I've followed and played football and hockey all my life and I haven't been in a single fight. Ever. I've gone to hundreds and hundreds of football games and I haven't been in a single riot or even fight - and yes, I live in europe.

Hearing people call out for the ban of entire sports over shit like this pisses me off and just makes it sound like some nerds "taking revenge" on jocks that bullied them in school.

Chill down, nerds. The problem is people - not sports. Idiots riot for any reason.

Dont worry, no one can actually ban sports

Nah, I know. It's more the attitude. People riot over religion, people riot over politics, people riot cause of freaking natural disasters. Riots suck -period-. I just don't like being associated with those people, by default, cause I happen to be a sportsfan.

Well I really would be happy if Religion vanished, got no serious issues with sports, I was just really pissed at what happened yesterday

Which is understandable. I'm sorry all that shit had to go down around you

I didn't think it was in them for canadians to get so violent. when I visited everyone was super duper nice and kind and respectful of others and the laws.
wonder if it was immigrants from the US or elsewhere that started it.

well, as long as a deer and hamster are okay

Yes, because it's always America's fault.

I am american, so I'm authorized to blame it as much as possible :3

Didnt hear about any trouble from the Boston fans, so we cant blame the yankies im afraid.

Serems most of the trouble makers where probably just crooks from Surrey, so yeah most of the people here are quite nice.

Sports don't make people riot, hell, Soccer is non-contact and has the worse rioters out of any fans. People riot to riot. People are, deep down, just assholes sometimes.

I kind of wish rioting had harsher consequences than a bit of teargas and getting thrown in a drunk holding cell, especially continuous rioting, but any advancement made in the field of riot control is used primarily on peaceful protestors later.

It's all lose-lose.

Not me, Im happy for Boston, even though I dont give a shit about Hockey

Vancouver is not a disgrace, it was the act of some reckless people let in to our city for hopefully a celebration. There were people that had planned on causing havoc and with group mentality things went array. Don't blame this disgusting act on the fans of the Canucks, as it was not. Don't blame it on our city as we are all appalled

I was to busy goign gaga over the players and their sexy beards in the pics to care about stupid people rioting and begin but hurt :D

I'm so pissed off at them right now. But in short, I agree.

I dunno how Boston's handling it, but i saw the final game and Vancouver's fans disgusted me. Throwing cups and trash onto the ice? BOOING the stanley cup awarding official? I understand they were disappointed, but that's just trashy, disrespectful acting out.

It disgusted me to see them disrespect what may be the single most revered trophy in sports.

Most revered in sports? I thought Hockey only mattered to a few countries :D, THOUGH! I am no expert

It ARE REVERED TO ME DEREFORE ALLSPORTS!

D:

I do think it's prolly top three or so.


on a SIDE NOTE ▼

Down dere anyways

How you doin' dude?

Doin pretty good! Just need more money damnit

I can't stand (any) sports and will probably go to my grave unable to understand the mentality of the 95% of the (world) population that goes drooling over them. A sport is game. A game is fun. Money should not be involved, and you should be just as happy to lose as to win. Someone has to lose. Few people in my experience ever appear to be having fun with sports, they just scream and yell a lot, and if they win it's an excuse to be stupid/party..So yer team lost, how does that ACTUALLY affect you? It doesn't. Stop being five years old people. =>.>=

I got a slurpee and a beer bottle thrown at my head down there

Jesus, hope you didnt get hurt too bad

Opiate of the asses.

This is why i hate sports. Even if the home team wins you know damn well theres gonna be drunken idiots getting massive riots together... or at least trying.

Essentially somethings gonna break somewhere or someones gonna get hurt.
.
Its pathetic. A damn good reason i won't live in a major city.

I remember when the fans in Los Angeles rioted after the L.A. Lakers won the NBA championship several years ago.

You do realize that the people rioting did not care about the outcome of the game? They would have rioted whether or not Vancouver won. They just wanted a reason.
Besides, the fans of the losing Football/Soccer team always riot, why is this any different?

Also forgot to add my Uncle was in the riot trying to get out. Amazingly not a scratch!

Hes a lucky guy escaping that mess! Yeah I know those where jsut guys who where there to loot, since they showed up with their looting supplies :D

Must be WOW deprived.
