Looks pretty grim.

I DO like the guy high sticking the door to the building though, nice form.

I am pretty glad I wasn't there sporting a Bruins Tshirt, as Canada does not allow you to bring pistols over the border for personal protection!

Shit, you can't even carry pistols for personal protection here let alone cross the border with them. However, after this display....

I didn't actually think there were going to be all out riots after the loss... Is this like planned ahead of time? Are people just using the game as an excuse?

Seems crazy. If my team lost I'd be upset but I wouldn't take it out on my own city.

So an isolated incident trumps an everyday occurence of fan violence? Vancouver may gain a couple spots, but they don't throw snowballs at Santa.

So are they pursuing charges against these people? I mean, they have a clear picture of the one guy setting a police car's gas tank on fire! :facepalm:

What's baffling is... you guys are surprised by this? It would have been shocking if they didn't riot. I was expecting one, thought it be bigger actually..

It's easy to see who the professional vendals/shit disturbers are as they are all wearing a combination of bandanas/ball cap/ and or hoodie so they won't be recognized. All the rests are sheeps who think they will look cool on the evening news

The spin begins... according to the Vancouver PD it was anarchists wearing Canucks jerseys who were responsible for the mayhem. I figured it was only a matter of time. I remember the couch burning Sparty riots after they'd get knocked out of the NCAA bball tourney... the MSU police would come out with some statistic claiming the majority of those arrested weren't MSU students.

You really have to be stupid/drunk to do that kind of stuff when everybodys filming and taking pictures :facepalm:

That pretty much covers anywhere these days, with all the little cameras, including those built into phones, that people have these days. And the age group that's acting up is probably the age group that's most aware of the cameras, and may even be posing for pictures and videos taken by their friends.

EDIT: Watching the video JR posted, I see a lot of the kids were doing just that. I'm amazed that so many of them not only consider these actions as something to do, but also can't see past the moment and realize there will be consequences.
