much ado about nothing...a small group of drunk hooligans(probably americans:P) went on a rampage and made the news...not really a riot....some broken windows, barfights, bonfires for roasting marshmallows...

Not many things Canadians are super passionate about...except hockey!!!

At least the right city had a riot! When LA or Detroit WON the NBA championship they had riots and cars tipped over. The losers are POed and needed to let off a litle steam.

I need a Kokanee hug too.

Mood: Suicide Hot line ... please hold

[*] posted on 6-16-2011 at 08:54 AM


Yep, those Canucks have a bit of "cabin" fever... to burn off...

But, thought by June... it would have been worked off...

Was the winter a bit harsher than normal... saw that the "Rockies" had a very snow fall this winter.. thank God or who ever ya want to thank.. we need all the water we can get... as does Canada... it makes things work...

Anyone that can make through a winter that lasts as long as it does up there.. well... I've had that feeling before... when young... sort of just want to run around and do SOMETHING outside..... in ones tee shirt ...

All well ... glad it was only property damage...

Too bad about the loss... but, "puck heads" are some kinda fans....

Destructive civil disobedience sucks. There's no excuse for it.
Come to think of it....there's no excuse for two grown men, professional athletes, to stand in front of a TV camera and a million kids, beating each other like common thugs.

Naw... just talking about sports... American football ... used to be much the same... until they wouldn't allow it on TV anymore, along with a few other changes...

Haven't watched "pro football" in around 25 years...

Would rather watch Thai Kick boxing... or a good race of just about anything...

Well....no, but it's a great suggestion. There are some, most, politicians I would love to watch beating each other. Talk about a vicarious thrill. :lol:

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Wow, I never had an explosion like that in Vancouver, some good ones, but never with the fireworks!! Go Canucks!! What a blast!! Who says Vancouverites lack passion!
