2011 NHL Playoffs IV: Rome is Burning

[Deleted member 3166]

Many losing teams' fans (and some winning teams' fans) are guilty of this. It's nothing new. It's pitiful and disgusting, but let's not pretend that this is an isolated incident because most of us hate the Canucks.

I was a freshman at the U when they won in '02 and I remember those riots.
Rabib delivered pizza on campus and was working that night, he had coworkers have their cars attacked.

Anyone else watching the poor BMW on fire? Someone tried jumping the car and fell into the flames. Idiots.

So, to get your name on the Cup, you have to have played 41 games, or 1 Stanley Cup game. Missing the cut off was Kampfer (38 games) and Savard (25 games). Hindy I believe appeared in a game vs. Montreal in the post season after appearing in 3 regular season games.

My question is what about Rask? Are the rules different for backup goalies?

I believe the team can appeal to have players that don't meet the requirements added.

Osgood has his name on the 1997 engraving, even though Vernon was the playoff starter, but he also played in 47 regular season games.

My guess is that the front office would have to request Rask's name, which can be done, but I always thought that the circumstances had to be special.

And how many times have we all asked "when are the riots?" We expect it now, no matter if it's the winning or losing team. It is sad.

People warned that this would happen.

Nearly 17 years to the day, citizens of Vancouver surprised many by taking to the streets in a large riot as they saw their hockey team the Canucks narrowly lose to the New York Rangers 3-2 in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals.

The city government was caught off guard then as people saw one of the worst North American riots in some time as millions of dollars of property damage was done by a disgraceful group that had no right to be called fans.

As the city and its people prepared for tonight's Game 7, people had a better idea of what to expect. More police was ordered and the city had time to prepare for what was to come.

However, in the closing moments of Boston's 4-0 victory, "fans" started to descend upon the city in actions that lawful Vancouver citizens are calling shameful, pathetic and disturbing.

As their team shook the hands of the triumphant Bruins, lawbreaking Vancouver fans began to take to the streets to express their displeasure to what happened on the ice.

At the time of this article, numerous fires have been started in downtown Vancouver, banks have been robbed, Bruin fans have been beaten and crowds are being hit with tear gas as bridges to downtown Vancouver are closing down to try and restore order to the city.

For a city known for its incredible beauty in a country that has a reputation for very friendly citizens, it's an absolute disgrace to what these people are doing. It's a black mark for the Canucks, the city, the country and sadly the league as a whole.

Reports of a possible death, and possible mass casualties at the hospital.

All are unconfirmed by the station, but the hospital is "Code Orange" and staff are not being aloud to leave.

Aebischer and Schwab were on the Cup in 2001 and 2003, and Grahame in 2004. They usually okay anyone the team asks to add that was injured, from what Wiki says.

Way to riot, against the city you were cheering for!

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs IV: Rome is Burning

Vancouver seems so unprepared for this that it's making Boston's mayor's draconian rules tonight look good.

Good thing Boston won in BC where the drinking age is 19. They are so considerate for Seguin.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs IV: Rome is Burning

A guy in a Bruins jersey was just beaten senseless in Vancouver

Any update on this guy?

Also, I've just come to the realization that the Bruins won the Cup before Joe Thornton. That's outstanding.

BTW, had no idea Julien has a five year old daughter. Guy is 51...

Ha, I was wondering how that party was going to go. That explains it.

So is the parade Friday or Saturday? I need to know which shift to get covered from work.

And I've never been to a parade. Where in Boston is ideal to go? Do they do the big rally at the end at City Hall?

Same here, I dont have to work at the airport this weekend, so Im heading to Beantown for the parade. Im thinking of taking Amtrak, since there are probably going to be a lot of people there, on top of the Red Sox game.

Mike Murphy has decided not to suspend downtown Vancouver, ruling it a "hockey play."

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs IV: Rome is Burning

I've seen my (granted second/current NHL) team win it 3 times, and my (fanbased) college team win it twice. Tough call, but I'd go with my NHL team.

Strongly disagree - there is no way I could claim an adopted team's title(s) is/are more important than a primary team's.

Re: 2011 NHL Playoffs IV: Rome is Burning

J.D. you mean Joe Thornton's not on the team anymore?

Stay classy Vancouver. Tell Luongo to enjoy his gold medal.
