Funny how Philadelphia sports fans get a bad rap for being so offensive and brashly opinionated, but yet last year when we lost the stanely cup in our city none of that type of rioting happened. I guess we only get violent when we win?

the world cup effect. Once a decade America pretends to like something.

What the fuck is 'hockey'?

How soon we forget Boston rioting in 2004.

No I did not forget the rioting. Did I say Boston's fan base is above that?

I commented on the Term " Masshole" it's been around for quite some time. Looting and destroying your own city because your "Team" won or lost well that has not been around to long.

Excellent!!!

[Mlarsen]

YES!

The Masshole term comes from our style of driving not the the holligan crap after you win a playoff series.

That term has been around since the 70's.

I think the stupid thing about the riots in Vancouver was that it's daylight you idiots....they will prosecute you for doing stupid stuff. I have never understood the Mob mentality of looting and destroying my own town. I can see doing it to somebody else's but not your own.

How soon we forget Boston rioting in 2004.

everytime a boston sports team wins there's a riot. We're called massholes for a reason.

I think it's mostly because Boston is full of tubby, ignorant douchebags. There's a reason everyone hates your city.

fwiw - I have some friends in Vancouver..

Most are safe in their homes and are mortified about what has happened. It’s definitely a ‘bad apple’ thing.

What I don't get is the senseless magnitude of the rioting in their home city – that just floors me.

The fans in Rogers Arena were booing Bettman, I was proud that almost everyone stayed to watch Boston hoist the cup. I was cheering for the Nucks, but Boston was the clear away the better team tonight, good for them. Thomas got an ovation, as he should, he was fabulous. Milan is a great BWC kid I played with him, hes still a great guy. And I'm glad he won a cup, and I cant wait to see him when he brings it home.

That being said I'm so disappointed with the so-called "fans" out trashing Downtown Vancouver, we don't deserve the Cup and the Hockey Gods will make sure we don't win one for a long time. That serves us right.
