sportsfan0518 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The Bruins won the Stanley Cup and Vancouver did not take the loss too well. This may be in the wrong thread but this topic will talk about what is going on in Vancouver with all of the riots. How many people do you think got injured during this, how many arrests were there be, or god forbid; how many deaths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I was down there and it was scary. People just walking around and looking for fights. I'm so ashamed to be from Vancouver right now. Police were not prepared nearly enough for the level of violence that erupted. The police presence was not great enough during, or after the game.

missouri tigers Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm not sure any one could have predicted it would be as bad as it was, or even expected a riot at all. Vancouver always seemed like one of the more classy sports fan bases in the NHL, and Pro sports in general IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewPF Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I heard a Bruins fan was killed by rioters.

DEAD! Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This would make a great WWE poster I had no idea Vancouver was going through austerity... (see Greece) I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The sad part is that the result would likely have been the same had they won. It's not the specific event and it's not Vancouver. Wherever it happens and whatever the "cause," it's just an excuse for idiots to show their true colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think part of this was due to the ignorance of the VPD.http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Vancouver+police+expect+repeat+riots/4951856/story.html On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Lee. Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Part of me wants to take the extremely long way to work today, and see the aftermath. Most of me is afraid of what I'm going to see.The topic title is incredibly inaccurate, by the way. These people weren't fans, they were people who were going to start on a large scale tonight, win or lose. To call them fans is doing fans of ANY team a huge disservice.

nash61 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The damage cost after Montreal won in 1993 was approx $2.4 million. The cost in 1994 was $1.1 million. We'll see where this one places.

Sport Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The other thing was that game got bad in a hurry. It was 3-0 after two periods which gave the "fans" a whole period to marinate and get even more angry. The Canucks did not play well and neither did Luongo and losing in that way is really frustrating as a fan. If it was an OT loss the crowd probably would've been more stunned than mad. There'd still be rioters and looters, but I don't think it would've been as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
