They are reporting, that some people had mollitove (SP) cocktails in the fenced area. The only way that could have happened was to take them with you, BEFORE the game. It sickens me to think that there were people out there ready to do damage win or lose. Add mob mentallity and stir in a few idiots, and see what we get. The downtown liquor stores were closed 1.5 HOURS BEFORE the game even started. There were cops out at 2pm, as the crowds started to appear. The media is blaming the police, because they did not do enough. Excuse me? Lets see... 100 000 people, lets say 5- 8 000 idiots and rioters... and 200-400 police. Had they pushed any harder, we would have had more people hurt, including police and fire personal. As it was, the fire department had to back off, because they were getting hit with rocks, bottles and anything else the idiots could throw at them, while they were putting out the first fire. Its a shame but the idiots still were able to cause this much damage and destruction.
I am a Canucks fan, I was dissapointed in them losing. I, along with thousands others said "$#%@!$#%%" and pouted. The better team won, its a game... this will not in any way affect my day to day life. To riot over it.... wow.
