In Canada, "rioting" means smashing up a car, breaking a few windows and creating a small bonfire with your game programs. Even in civil disobedience, Canadians are quite civil.

I'm extremely happy Vancouver didn't win last night. Maybe the most classless fanbase in sports.

There would have been riots if they won too.

Those fans weren't around when they were known as the Vancouver Millionaires.

Surprising that anybody still cared.
Winter was done three months ago and they are just finishing hockey? That's almost as bad as MLB played around Halloween. Poor poor planning from a sports marketing perspective.

If the riot were for something actually notable, this photo would be one of the most iconic of all-time:
Seriously, can you imagine an image like that in the midst of the riots in Egypt or during the '68 Democratic Natl Convention?

So what were the final TV ratings on this thing? I know there are hockey fans out there, my brother is a big fan. But I honestly didn't even realize they were playing, or who was playing, until game 7. I wonder if I am the norm with that.
