Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Canucks riot after losing cup

Yep. Keep telling yourself that. Sounds like you might eventually convince yourself but don't count on too much company.

Ok

With airport security the way it is, do you think their going to allow thousands of fans into the airport to greet them? I dont think so. There were some 500+ fans at the TD Garden to greet them and there will be a whole hell of lot more than that come Saturday in Beantown.

Lucic was interviewed earlier today thanking the Vancouver fans for staying for the cup presentation and giving him a big cheer when he hoisted the cup, like I said before the booing was for Bettman not the Bruins.

Might be tough to fit Weber under the cap. Detroit has 6 million to spare. Grin

I saw that and was quite surprised that he was cheered and not booed. Glad he plays for the Bruins, he's a helluva hockey player.

Cap goes up 3 mil this year and we most likely won't be signing a few players. We have a leg up as Weber being from BC plus playing junior hockey here for the Kelowna Rockets, not to mention being good friends with Dan Hamhuis, a previous Predator himself. Almost forgot, Vegas has picked us as heavy favorites to win the cup

That's all the canucks got left.

I'd be emabarrassed too if I had Lord Stanley's cup in my hands, only to have it fall out while I was choking. At least you admit it.

lol

It'll be interesting to see what he garners as a free agent in qualifying offers.

Man what an addition to any contender's roster.

As for the riots, I live on our border and my opinion of "mush heads" remains high. Not so much for the sad sacks responsible for the rioting and Quebecois in general. grin

Dwayne,

Good to hear your friends made it out in one piece and I do hope you and yours are well too.

The last 2 Cups won by the Wings were a hoot. The people by and large were just out to celebrate a bit. Very very few turds actually caused trouble and we managed to cull them from the crowds right quick.

You're pretty funny considering that your team finished 12th out of the 15 teams in the NW Division.

I believe Weber is a restricted free agent this year which makes the price of signing him too high. Next year he becomes unrestricted and he can sign where he wants. Definitely there will be a bidding war for his service as he is arguably the best defense man in the league.

A 17 year old kid from the Vancouver suburbs came home from the riot to find his folks waiting up for him.Turns out they had seen what he was up to on the late news,and they marched him straight to the local RCMP detatchment.He is noe facing 5 charges.A lot of these idiots posted their exploits and trophies on Facebook,the cops are tracking them down and they have also recieved 1900 phot0s from the public identifying some of these clowns.Hopefully they'll get whats coming to them. Monashee

Unfortunately his parents will probably have to pay his fine. Should make these guys clean the streets for a year or two.

Sweeping a street?...guess he will learn his lesson

After the Buffalo Bills lost their first Super Bowl in 1990, about 40,000 of their faithful turned out in Niagara Square to welcome them home. The Buffalo fans consoled themselves with the fact that only several hundred Giants fans were on hand at Newark International to welcome the champions home. All of these years later all that people remember is that the Giants were the winners and the Bills were the losers.

So, go ahead and make yourself feel better by latching on to minutia . One year, five years, twenty years from now you will be the only one to remember how many folks were at the airport. The rest of the world will remember that the Bruins were the winners and the Canucks were the losers.

No I will not be the only one, the Bruin's players will remember it as well. Sounds like they will make up for it Saturday anyway, so who cares.

I was wondering when the reports like this would start coming in with all the videos and phone cameras evident. Glad to hear it. The focus of blame should be squarely on the shoulders of those responsible, and not anywhere else.

Another one 18 years old,a private school boy with an excellent scholastic and athletic record.His father is a prominent Vancouver surgeon.THe father phoned the Vancouver police with evidence of the kid's complicity and guaranteed the kid would be at the cop shop Saturday morning bright and early.
