It is amazing how far people will go over sporting events. It is only a game whether it be hockey, football, basketball or whatever. That is the reason they say play ball rather than work ball. Sometimes I think we all would be better off without sports and the dumb millionaires it creates. Some can't even read or write but got through high school and college because they can play a particular sport.

Then you have the dumb people watching and they get angry when their team loses such as the case with Vancouver.

They should be mad when their team loses. They paid big bucks for them.

I can't understand it. It's not like they are on the team playing. If they had skin the game, I could understand it. There's always next year.

PEOPLE!!!! these were not hockey fans, for the most part. I hesitate to say this,.....but It has come to light from the police investigation that the core grp. of rowdies came up from the U.S.. Yes some of the idiots that followed along were Canadians. They apparently caught a bunch at the border going home a few days later. I was happy to see people going down the next day to help with the clean up.
