Game 7 wasn't even close -.-, I'm surprised the rioting didn't start during the second period, when the game was pretty much a lost cause.

It seems like people were just looking for an excuse to do stupid shit, ehhhh, the whole thing is over my head t.t

I witnessed only one major riot in my country and it also had a political/economical background. But I guess those are the joys of living on a rich country; you destroy things that you may end up paying with your own taxes just because of the most banal thing you can imagine.
And don't play the passion card on me, my country is also very "passionate", but in cases like this you normally see the stadium and adjacents getting damaged, not people rampaging over the whole city.

Also, there is one thing that surprises me. Don't they have laws, judges, jails and stuff in Canada? Because I saw a lot of people with the face uncovered and nonchalantly posing for cameras. Even if drunk you have to be incredibly stupid to do that.


What country do you live in? Do I have to remind you what happened when Nueva Chicago was demoted to the B league last time?

I see Mauro Martin with his face uncovered every time I go to the stadium, and he has done worst things than burn a couple of cars and break some windows so please stop making ridiculous and untrue statements.




A battle royal between factions that do as they want with the approval and support of the police and politicians sure is the same thing as this, right? That's why I used the word normally, to equate things.
If you want me to post the differences I'll gladly do.

I saw pictures of Hitler with face uncovered; your point? Martin is "smart" enough to have contacts that protect his ass and I don't think those random canadian do, therefore, they are stupid and my statement is true.

Teams have come back from 3 goal deficits before and fans wanted to believe that the canucks could pull a 3rd period comeback

with 5 minutes left to go, people were already starting fights

It is ridiculous that you are trying to argue that Argentina is more civilized than Canada, but still:

1. There was no "Battle Royal" between factions. It was the Chicago supporters versus the police, which spilled out of the stadium onto the streets to the point of completely blockading the main transit highway in Buenos Aires. One person died who was not part of the fight/disturbances. Clearly a lot more serious than what happened in Canada where nobody died. Inform yourself before you continue to misinform.

2. Mauro Martin, as well as Di Zeo, are known criminals who have/had warrants for their arrest. They still go to the stadium unhindered. This is clearly a lot more serious than some canadian vandals showing their faces in public´

I will derail this conversation no further, I hope you see how stupid your argument is, that Canadians are more uncivilized than Argentines, lol.

People should stop saying that Canadians are like that. It's just stupid. Almost as stupid as those people burning cars down.

Every country in the world has people that are stupid as fuck and do stuff like that. Has nothing to do with nationality.

Let's be honest, the riot was going to happen no matter what. Almost 100,000 people gathered around to watch and all it takes is a 50-100 people to get a mob started and from there it's a crowd mentality. Also don't think that Hockey Riots in Canada aren't something that happen often, Montreal is often known for rioting after a loss or win in the playoffs.

Let's just hope Toronto (rofl) never makes it back to the cup, because win or lose the city will be flipped worse than anything done in Vancouver. All that being said, so fucking stupid of people and I can't wait for the Facebook groups to get more and more people arrested.

But Canadians are some of the nicest people in the world ! After looking at some of those riot photos, people posing for pictures... it's like a semi-aggressive mob. Half the people smashing and burning, half the people following along to take pictures.

And I'm sorry, but this picture just screams "come at me bro."

Starcraft will only become a legitimate sport after its first riot. We can make that happen guys, just hold the next MLG in Montreal, lolz.

Also, I should bring something up since the Olympics have been talked about quite a bit in this thread. There would have been a 0% chance of a riot had Canada lost in the Gold medal Hockey game, it's just something as a Canadian I know it wouldn't happen. But we won, and in literally every major city across the country streets were filling up with people celebrating, but not be complete fucking idiots. Where I live in London (yes in Canada), our main strip that has most of the bars was shut down from the time of Crosby's goal until about 3am because it was full of people.

This is an embarrassment for Vancouver. Its ridiculous, your team loses just go out and drink your faces off, don't hurt people and burn police cars. Any one who took part in this are complete jackasses. If I was there to watch the hockey game with my family/friends and after the game we got bombarded by smoke bombs and riot tactics because of these people I'd be pissed. Even worse if any of them got injured or killed.

already posted in here but after seeing some more pics and videos

it makes me so fucking angry that these fucking morons think they can do this shit over a fucking sport, half of them are doing it because they think it makes them cool

the worst part is, they'll keep thinking that when this is all over

what a fucking disgrace of a city, canada you've just completely dropped off my list of places to go
