psht thats nothing. thats literally the only car theyve torched. personally i was expecting much worse, but the vancouver PD has been preparing for this moment since the last time they lost in the finals 20 years ago, and things are going much, much better than they were last time.
and you're embarassed? fuck that, watching a riot caused purely by the loss of a hockey games gets me going all patriotic. nowhere else in the world is the greatest sport ever appreciated so much.
We'll see in the morning if they ACTUALLY riot, cuz right now I would call this a bit of a rollover on the part of the fans.
Edit: it appears they have begun to actually riot, so:
This is how it works: Every Canadian dreams of raising the stanley cup from the moment he can think for himself. When 99% of them realize that they aren't good enough to play any more, it becomes their dream to watch their team raise the cup, and for Vancouver, a team that has been around for 40 years without ever having won it, and now they not only had a chance, but they were expected to win. Most of these fans rioting have been cheering and carrying the colours for 15-20 years now, through all the trials and trebulation, and now it seemed to them that they would finally achieve it, until tonight. If you had been dreaming of something for 20 years, and then had it promised to you, only to have it ripped from your fingers at the last possible second, would you riot? I fucking would.
And @ people in this thread, man up. Seriously. This is Canada, and we go through hockey riots every year at this time, whether its montreal, vancouver, edmonton, or montreal (did i mention montreal?). Why is anybody even surprised about this? I thought we had come to expect this, and we've definitely learned how to handle it. Just stop being a bunch of pussies.
Edit 2: Okay the riots basically over. i give it a 4/10

That's a photo from a couple of hours ago. If you check out the news at least a dozen cars are on fire.

I've heard that, in Quebec, when the Habs lose they burn police cars, and when they win, they burn police cars.

Canucks fans, I'm happy for y'all and Imma let you finish,but L.A. had one of the best riots of all time.

It's getting a lot worse and fast.
What sucks is this was bound to happen win or loss really. Think about it, it is the same fucking losers who think because their in a crowd of 100,000 + people that they can damage shit and act cool while millions watch. Just because they think they wont get caught...
It's sad how such a few amount of people can truly ruin it for millions of others....

My question is, why are they rioting? Was there some super bs call made by the refs? Or are they just crazy?

I don't follow sports. Why do people riot when they lose? Edit: ^answered me. That's stupid and don't include me in this "we."
Riot at Anaheim if a non-American wins MLG, let's do it SC2 Community! We'll show them we're hardcore!
