What a disgrace to the game of hockey that was put on display to the world last night in Vancouver. All through the drawn out Stanley Cup playoffs I had the feeling that the Vancouver Canucks were eventually going to hold true to their record and choke. They had been lucky earlier on and managed to win some of the previous playoff rounds. But, when they came up against the Boston Bruins in the final, their luck ran out. I thought that the Boston goaltender, Tim Thomas played extremely well. The Canucks just shit the bed...!!
The idiots in downtown Vancouver that went to the streets last night after the Canucks loss and vandalized property, overturned and burned cars, looted stores, and basically just displayed their stupidity are a disgrace to the wonderful game of hockey. Unfortunately Canadian fans may end up being painted with this brush in the eyes of the world. These jackasses used the playoff loss as an excuse to go wild in the streets and demonstrate to the world what a bench of jerks they are. It is a shame that this behavior is associated with such a classic and Canadian sport. I hope the authorities hold true to their intentions to investigate, seek out, arrest and charge as many of those responsible as they possibly can. With all the news media coverage, security video, and cell phone images, it is my sincere hope that most of them can be apprehended. Enough said.... I don't want to dedicate any more attention to such a collection of assholes and hope that people are intelligent to realize that this is not what the sport of hockey is about.
