Stanley Cup Fans Go Ape Sh*t in Vancouver

Vancouver Canucks fans went ape shit, literally, after the team lost game 7 to Boston in the Stanley Cup Finals. After the loss, looters smashed windows, set cars and garbage cans on fire and basically went ballistic in the streets. Vancouver’s Mayor, Gregor Robertson, explained, “We have a small number of hooligans on the streets of Vancouver causing problems. It’s absolutely disgraceful and shameful and by no means represents the city of Vancouver. … We have had an extraordinary run in the playoff, great celebration. What’s happened tonight is despicable. It is extremely disappointing to see the situation in downtown Vancouver turn violent after tonight’s Stanley Cup game.”

He continued, “Vancouver is a world-class city and it is embarrassing and shameful to see the type of violence and disorder we’ve seen tonight. The vast majority of people who were in the downtown tonight were there to enjoy the game in a peaceful and respectful manner. It is unfortunate that a small number of people intent on criminal activity have turned pockets of the downtown into areas involving destruction of property and confrontations with police.” Peep the full story here.
