FYI

I know by now a lot of you have seen the footage from Vancouver of the riot that ensued last night after last night's loss or have at least heard of it, but trust me, the people that were causing the destruction were not Vancouverites, but were instead people from other places who are professionals and saw an opportunity to tarnish what was otherwise a wonderful season for the team.  The city doesn't condone this sort of behaviour and it was tarnish by bullies (they targeted chain stores/banks in general).  Don't let the images of a few stupid people ruin your image of a city that hosted the Olympics about a year and a half ago.  These weren't true Canucks fans.

That really was a sad state of affairs. Being from New England we were thrilled to see the Bruins win, but not thrilled about what happened.
