    There are 14 Canadians on the Boston Bruins, and 10 on Vancouver.

      Vancouver's been a loser for all of its 41 years.

            Vancouver is a city filled with the douchiest people in Canada, with the douchiest hockey team in the world, with the douchiest fans in all of sports.

            Most of Canada was rooting against them for a reason.
            Damn, I've thought Vancouver was the best city in Canada if you didn't mind throngs of Chinese. Are there no seaside/lakeside cities in Canada that are good?

                Still it is about 1000 times better than the top US city so you don't have to worry.

                  Depends what you want.

                  Victoria is slower paced and pretty.

                      Chucking a few seats is fairly low-level stuff compared to the rioting described in the OP. Smashing windows, looting, burning cars. "Smoke and pepper spray mingled, making it difficult to breathe in some areas of the downtown core. Plumes of smoke rising above the city are visible from as far away as East Vancouver. " Different order of magnitude. Mike didn't say that football is trouble-free here.
                      Plus, looting Birmingham would cause thousands of pounds worth of improvements. [/PH]

                            However, I like it. Vandals! ....though not as good as the more generic 'Barbarians'.
                            Yes, that Germanic tribe's habit of needlessly destroying stuff in lands they invaded resulted in the English word vandal meaning someone who vandalizes property.

                              I love hearing from some people that it's not Canucks fans who did this. There's a lot of jerseys for non-fans...

                                While I don't deny Muslim and Black expertise in the field, this is clear evidence that East Asians and Europeans can riot too. Someone should tell Brussels that we can stop importing Blacks and Muslims and start importing Canadians for this vital economic niche.
                                Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                                The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                                The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
