Shannon, my Father is VPD and worked during the riot. I promise you that the entire Fraser Valley police force saw the riot coming. Hell, they had career criminals, under surveillance, making plans for it the moment the conference finals ended.
Do you know who DID forget? The mayor. He thought we could host the same street party we did during the Olympics.
The VPD were calling in off duty RCMP before game 7 started.
I do remember the mayor being dense.
The chief of police stated in a press conference that no, they were not prepared, no they did not actualy expect the riot because he thought the citizens were better than that
@@TheHockeyGuy As far as I know, any Fraser Valley Constable that wasn't expected to work the next morning, went to work that night.
Imagine reading the riot act to a hundred thousand people. I'd be terrified.....
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. You can't expect a few thousand Officers to be able to control a crowd of that size.
@@dirk903 Every individual officer that had a brain, saw the riot coming. As for being unprepared, see my previous comment.
Im going by what the police chief literally said (and is still available on google)
Not saying then entire force was not prepared as i left downtown when it started so my info came from the news... the chief says they were not prepared, so thats what i listened to
a murder was committed around 5:08
r.i.p leafs. jesus christ
If there's any downvotes, we'll know where they came from
I keep going back to replay it because it was so unexpected lmao!
Lmao
I was dying laughing. So leftfield - love it
5:10 just roasted an entire city
J9 Brando hes from Vancouver
J9 Brando absolutely D E S T R O Y E D
I spat my coffee when he said that
Quite a pun on your part too.
"You can't compare the last time Toronto won a Stanley Cup to this because fire wasn't invented."
Hahaha Burn, no pun intended.
As a major Leafs fan, i still laughed out loud at this. So subtle. Well played Shannon. Never a dull moment.
#Fatality
I thought that was great.
Hahahahahah
I liked that too, except for the minor nitpick that fire was a discovery and not an invention (same thing for electricity, but I digress).
The most memorable part for me is that in literally one short commercial break after the Bruins won the Cup, CBC flipped back after the break to a shot of a car on fire flipped over. It was the ultimate "well that escalated quickly" moment.
I remember seeing that and laughing my ass off. I'm from the US, and we have this stereotype that Canadians are the nicest, most apologetic, and most polite people in human history who are incapable of being mean or angry. So when that flashed back on the screen one of my buddies said, and I quote, "holy shit we finally found their kryptonite"
@@cmd31220 pretty much. nice, just don't fuck with our hockey! Look at how bitter Quebecers still are over the Nordiques being relocated

Dude those weren’t the average fans
I recall being on the SkyTrain coming into downtown the nights of the Riot in 2011. They were openly talking about rioting win or lose that night.
Those aren’t fans just troublemakers
As someone who was 11, almost 12 when this happened. I was watching the game with my dad in a restaurant right near the stadium downtown. It was one of the scariest thing I experienced as a kid because I didn't fully understand what was going on except for the fact that my dad was almost dragging me away from the stadium so we could get home safely.
Only one good thing came out of that riot, some guy got a flash bang grenade to the nuts.
This! I brought this up to a bunch of my friends at our house on the weekend and had to play the video over and over. It STILL is my all time favourite part of that playoffs.
and the kissing couple was pretty noice too

Just scrolling through the comments and I found this gem
@@allenmax8995 his name is nick moore he's a well known skateboarder in the community. search nick moore 2011 for a great video of it.
Shannon just ended Toronto let's gooo 💉💉
5:09 is the best part of the video.
"That was before fire was invented" Bravo, 10/10, from a Leaf's fan.
3:30 - 3:32 = "And you're looking at this going 'where's the riot police'?" and your cat in the background is giving us (the viewers) the most criminal staredown you could ever get! xD xD
That's cats for you. They are evil things....
Holy crap Shannon that city had a wife and family xD 5:10
I worked at a hotel back in 2011 (wasn't working that night) and we had one guest who was supposed to arrive that night but never showed up. The next day I worked and checked him in. He was an 18 year old kid from the Netherlands who was out of the country on his own for the first time ever. He arrived in Vancouver on the eve of Game 7 without any clue hockey even existed. He exited the skytrain station at Burrard and immediately saw burning cars and people fighting. He thought the world was ending. He couldn't get to the hotel because of the riot zone containment situation...luckily he had a relative in town and he managed to make it to her place that night...but wow. What a welcome for a young kid on his first time travelling alone to a new country.
I was working at CBC in the coordination studio when this happened and I'll never forget seeing all the live feeds of the destruction being displayed on our monitor wall. It was quite surreal.
Fellow Vancouverite, couple of things here:
The city probably let everyone gather downtown in such massive volume because everyone still had that residual good will left over from 2010, when we also let massive gatherings happen downtown. Difference back in 2010 I think we had something like 8 times the law enforcement presence, because the olympics brought in security and law enforcement to help from all over the country.
Weirdest thing I remember was being near where the riot began. We saw black smoke rising above the buildings and everyone was just stunned from the loss. We went from Canada place where a big tv was, and walked all the way up burrard to drown our sorrows in booze at the Earls near the Burrard theatre thinking the police wouldn't let the riot spread that far. Here's the thing: We walked outside later in the dark, and the riot had totally spread up the street that far into the downtown core. Walking back to the seabus terminal it was surreal because some streets would be completely empty with a row of riot cops just standing there, meanwhile the next street over was fires and looters. Tinfoil hat time: the city and the cops DELIBERATELY stalled and waited so they could use the spreading chaos as ammunition for never allowing gatherings again. If they CONTAINED the crowd from the start, it wouldn't have spread and gotten so bad.
Here's another thing I blame this on: At the beginning of the finals series the cops set up big rent-a-fence areas where thousands of people downtown could stand and watch the game. They began frisking and checking everyone bags for booze. So what happens: A group of drunk people roll up to the fenced in sections in hopes of watching a game, see the cops frisking people, then take their booze and belonging somewhere else. So rather containing the revelers and drunks, they scared everyone away and pretty soon the trouble makers were EVERYWHERE, starting shit, rather than being in a contained area. Blame Vancouver's archaic booze laws on this. They could've fenced in Georgia where the riot began, let everyone inside the area booze it up and the drunken trouble makers would've been contained, but nope.
The riot sucked. Riots happen everywhere though. The cops here were just idiots about it then, and probably caught off guard a little because of people's good will in those big crowds the year before in 2010.
The most violent thing I've done lately during a Canucks game is throw my girlfriend's slippers across the room. STOP BLOWING LEADS
Need some anger management bro, what did that slipper do to you?
What did your girlfriend's slippers ever do to you?😂🤣
Was her slippers made of brick?
Hey we didn't completely blow it last night
There's no need to be making up people now.
5:08 excellent joke, I laughed
I am a die-hard Wings fan. Been a fan since the late 70s. I'm 48 and was born in Michigan so my fandom is natural. My wife is a Leafs fan and was born in California, grew up in NC before either state had a hockey team. I had to let her listen to the fire invention comment. She is still laughing :)
Lived in windsor Ontario , saw so many games in the Olympia , that barn was awesome . Saw the habs beat spartak saw them tie the Russian army playoffs , the leafs sucked all the time saw only a few games at maple leaf garden . Got to Vancouver in 1979 became a Canucks fan , boy it’s tuff . Seen probabl around 300 games best game ever was don cherry coaching the Colorado Rockies s the wings in the Olympia . Colorado was terrible the wings were terrible , it was equal terrible but the wing sxored like three times in the last minutes to win , it was awesome. However Vancouver is a beautiful city . Although they are so far left when they try to kick someone’s butt they kick they’re own .
Last time I was this early, the Red Wings were still in a playoff spot.
Unfortunately they were just eliminated from the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoff hunt as well.
Oh boy why did I have to go through this again? 😅 I had 150+ppl at my bar on Broadway showing the game, everyone was depressed but non violent ,(except for 1 drunk girl who threw her hot dog at my window :) Then we saw the cop cars on fire on tv and thought that must be Libya .. nope it was W Georgia St. but please stop saying ppl don't deserve a public party. We hosted THE OLYMPICS in 2010 and the whole city was partying hard for almost a full day after Crosby's overtime goal with no incidents. This was purely VPD & RCMP 's incompetence and I hope to god they learnt a lesson from it.
16:55 - yep, that thought was felt by everyone I knew, if a city riots then everyone outside that city will villainize that city and won't want your team to ever be successful
"There will never be a gathering like this again"
Yeah, there won't be. Just not for the reason you thought...
Damn dragging the leafs so casually that I almost missed it.
This is probably my favourite video you’ve ever done. Saving this one for the laughs.
Thanks for discussing this, as I really knew nothing about it other than it happened, let alone twice. I think I remember news reports here in Australia about it, but I'm not sure, as this was long before hockey was even in my peripheral. Totally nuts.
“Because fire wasn’t invented yet”
I did a spit take on that one. How to milk off the nearby wall
Maple Leafs - 13 cups, 0 riots
Blue Jays - 2 World Series, 0 riots
Raptors - 1 championship, 0 riots
I know you only brought up the Leafs so Canucks fans wouldn't get depressed I get that.
But fact is Toronto is a mature. The crowd policed themselves for the most part, which wasn't the case in Vancouver.
Also, not a lot of people were from Vancouver
Moron.both riots were not started by fans. They were started and planned in advance by an anarchist group
Sounds like you got an inferiority complex with vancouver
I was extremely proud of St. Louis last year. The police department released a statement thanking everyone and saying they did not have one single reported rioting or looting type event after the final. The traffic cops were celebrating with the fans outside of enterprise and Busch stadium when the watch parties let out. I remember one individual getting arrested at the parade for climbing on a light pole, that’s the only incident that I ever heard about.
Rioting for sports doesn't seem to be in our makeup here. Over the past 20 years, we've won two World Series and lost one, won a Super Bowl and lost one, and then the Stanley Cup win. None of those had major troubles. Maybe it's just harder to get downtown for rioting purposes.
@@defaultuser1447 I think it's more the mentality of the midwest. We consider those in our society more like family members rather than strangers on average. During the parade everyone was our brother and sister.
I remember traveling to Vancouver a week after the game 7 loss and it was bad when I arrived. I stayed with family around the arena and it was still trashed all around. Shocking to see as an 11 year old visiting family but that was a huge hockey memory growing up for sure
The people who rioted at the US Capitol clearly did not watch your video.
I remember having the opportunity of having to go downtown to watch the hockey game but had the feeling a riot would break out and didn't want to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
At 1:41 when Shannon’s talking about committing crimes, it reminds me of the time Charles Barkley was talking about Jussie Smollett on Inside the NBA and said, “America, let me just tell you something. Do not commit crimes with checks.” It obvious to us that you shouldn’t implicate yourself, but I guess in the heat of the moment those rioters just want to show their friends, or whoever else follows them on social media, that they’re cool for vandalizing property and causing anarchy.
@TheHockeyGuy, that selfie pose 1:46 is givin me flashback of those films 'Quick-change', and 'Dragnet' proves your video have relevance for us reminiscent fans. Keep doing them you are talented would be wasted on TV, cable or radio.
90's kids Home Alone. Harry and Marv would be the nearest to selfie pose at 1:46.
“You can’t compare the last time Toronto won a cup to this because fire was invented.” ...I just screamed
😄😄
Shannon, I agree with you 100%. There are good and bad fans for every team in every city. It is horrible that those smaller groups of bad fans can cause so much damage and chaos no matter if your team wins or looses a championship. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, just walking distance from the stadiums. In the time that our teams have won, the morons and drunks that are "Celebrating" and going crazy give us the Fans and the entire City a bad name. Those groups is what always make the news and I think in a very twisted way inspire them to act like idiots so they can see themselves on TV. Thank you for making a video like this one!!!
1:30 and 1:39 killed me😂💀
Maaan, this was one of the toughest nights of my life, I really don't know if I can handle a 20 minute recap of it :(
I have to give it a watch some time when I'm feeling up for it, getting different perspectives could be cool.
Imagine if he did this video in a "I'm here for the Riots" shirt lol
I remember that day vividly. I was 15 years old, and obviously the heartbreak of seeing the Canucks lose was one thing; then the riot; it was also the night when my relationship with my mum hit an all-time low (thankfully it is very much improved now). After that night I moved in with my dad, who I lived with for several years... It was very much the day my childhood ended. I don't think most people can pin it down to a specific date but I know my life was very different before and after June 15, 2011.
However... While I had long been a Canucks fan, the 2011 run really cemented my marriage to this team. Living with my dad, who has long followed the Canucks, we would watch a lot of the games together and this made me a bigger and bigger fan over time. Living with him allowed me to rebuild my relationship with my mum; and in those future years since 2011, I have a renewed relationship with Vancouver as well, having been a taxi driver and seeing its surreal beauties and devastating flaws all at once. Much like the young team Vancouver has on the ice these days, it shows that disasterous days like this one can have positive impact years down the road. Had that day not been so bad, life for me now might not be this good.
Glad to hear you got through to the other side, brother. Take care and be well.
The Aaron Rome hit on Horton changed that series and Vancouver's destiny. 2011 was their year, they got all the breaks, were the best team and they blew it.
They almost blew a Playoff Series lead to the Blackhawks, the following year, the Kings finished them off for good.
The Vancouver 2011 Cup Finals is the first hockey memory that I have. It was a Blurr but the first game I remember watching and remember how I felt etc. I was personally extremely upset about Vancouver losing that series. Then my parents were like OMG THEY'RE RIOTING! Then they had to explain to me what Rioting was. I was a little kid and this was the first sports game I remember. Game 7 where Vancouver lost ANDDD then the city Rioted.
I went into Vancouver several times during the 2010 Olympics, including during the Golden game, and the atmosphere was incredible. You could feel the joy and celebration. There were many, many high fives with strangers! It felt like I imagine it would feel to win the Stanley Cup, because we knew it was a rare, maybe one-in-a-lifetime moment to win a hockey Gold Medal in hockey IN Vancouver. So when we made a big run come the Stanley Cup Playoffs I headed into Vancouver for a ton of the games, watching them on the outdoor screens (just as I had for the Olympics). The attitude from the fans were great. Huge celebrations with jovial fans, a fun party atmosphere, after each big win. All the way up to game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals, this was the case. But heading in on Game 7, there were different people. It felt different the whole game. Mid game, we saw people climbing up onto the awnings of the buildings instead of watching the game. Non-hockey fans in the crowd. You know when you're watching the game with non-hockey fans and they don't even watch the play. They don't get excited when the game is exciting... that's what was going on. So you're right... this isn't on real Canucks fans. People saw an opportunity, and they poached the event for their own ends. I can't say who to blame, or why exactly it happened then and not other times... but I do know that the people who rioted were not the people who were out for the previous games.
Sitting at home watching on TV, I was devastated for the better part of an hour as reality set in that the Canucks were going to lose Game 7. That was nothing compared to how I felt when I saw the broadcast return from the first commercial break after the Cup was awarded. I'll never forget the image of that car flipped upside down and burning with thousands of people around it rioting.
I remember being downtown when the riots started it was crazy like something straight out of a movie I had got in a fight with someone because they were calling my little brother who is special needs retard and all sorts of mean stuff and at that moment a vpd officer came up and told us if we dont leave we would be arrested meanwhile theres people lighting vpd cars on fire across the street but they see a 17 year old defending a 10 year old a priority, we quiky jumped in a cab home and watched on tv as my city burned (literally) and was looted really sad day
Hold on, don’t beat him yet **in selfie position** all right, go for it **smiling and giving thumbs up** Instagram that (Just beat this Bruins fan here LOL)
Seriously doubt it
I love these classic Hockey Guy videos. It's the perfect antidote to my Canucks PTSD.
I remember I was 10 at the time, I literally didnt think it was real I thought it was a game and I live pretty close to van
Orcajesus i was 8 i cried my eyes out when vancouver lost
That subtle Toronto cup drought diss had me screaming 🤣🤣🤣
Speaking as an artist and photographer, With my humanity away on vacation. The kissing picture of the couple during the riots is one of the most beautiful photos ever taken and it’s the only good thing that came from the riots.
2:40 true words that describe me with this team as well.
Leafs fan here, We know how you feel. 4 straight first round eliminations, 3 at the hands of my most hated NHL team.
CORRECTION: The most BELOVED NHL team. Fixed it.
John Browne I'm a Bruins hater, sorry.
@@importednascar Then you won't be going to heaven, sorry.
It really is wild Bruins/Leafs play each other in the playoffs more than the season. I miss the old days were we played division teams 8 times a year.
@@Shatamx Been a Leafs fan since 2009
From the Seattle Canuck fan. Love Vancouver! I always think about this all the time.
Yes, their were people there going to riot. I am so upset and worry about the next time. They will do this again. Personally, I root for the team.
Hope they don't make it to the cup.That it sad for me to feel like this. For a team, I support and follow from Seattle. Wishing my team not to win a championship.
What about the Kraken
This is one of my top 3 videos you have done....at least out of the many I have seen.
It is truly sad that a guy who has two favorite teams, can't enjoy the experience of knowing one of them will be crowned champions due to some childish, lawless jackasses.
I'll bet you $ that there were a few rioters that weren't even hockey fans.
They were lighting cars and flipping over portapotties before the game even finished
I want to riot after recent Canucks game.
You're not a real fan

Dreary old Vancouver plenty of rain .I went a Canucks home game looked up at rafters didn't see one cup banner 50 years of nothing kind of reminds of the buds
Beautiful title xD
I remember the 2011 playoffs in Vancouver well. As a Sharks fan, my thoughts on Vancouver's fan base were all vindicated lol. I remember walking down terminal near our jam space and every car had their windows busted.
Last summer around 500,000 people in downtown St. Louis for the Blues SC parade. No riot, no fights, was very family friendly. Even had we lost to the pond scum from Boston, we wouldn't have trashed the city.
Agreed. That parade was one of the greatest experiences. Only joy and exclamation to be had by everyone involved. That day everyone was our brother and sister.
St. Louis has a very good history in this regard. So does New York, Washington, Pittsburgh etc.
Other cities seam to always have trouble when there is a championship. Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and surprisingly to me Vancouver.
I agree 100% with Shannon that their are good and bad fans in EVERY fan base.
So I don't get the recurring trends in some cities. Maybe having happened or not happened before this becomes contagious for future events?
I count myself lucky that St. Louis is not a sports riot place. (Riots may occur for other reasons, but that is a different situation.) I have enjoyed Championships in Baseball, Football, and Hockey and all have been peaceful. The Stanley Cup Parade was by FAR the craziest of them all!!!!! Not that baseball is less popular by any means, but for the Blues it was the result of a 50+ years of frustrations released at once. The city friken exploded!!! Yet celebrations, crazy as they were, remained peaceful and non destructive throughout.
I truly don't believe that we are, as individuals, better fans than in Philadelphia, Detroit, or Chicago. We have good and bad - so do they. Just thankfully destruction has never become part of our sports culture. I pray it never does!!!
FIRE WASN’T INVENTED YET THE LAST TIME LAST TIME LEAFS WON A CUP. Omg Shannon, I literally just spat my drink all over my phone while I was watching this. I’m in public right now too... thanks a lot.
“Fire wasn’t invented” had me rolling around
What gets me, is that I experienced large crowd public viewing open celebrations THE PREVIOUS YEAR. Everyone was happy and joined together in a sea of red maple. Crosby scored the Golden Goal, which capped off a few weeks celebration of world class international sports.
For the life of me, I can't understand how they couldn't use the same logistics to corral 2011 Finals viewing in a similar way to how they did the 2010 LiveCity olympics viewing venues.
Fast forward to 2011, and I think it was just hubris to think that Vancouverites would conduct themselves the same way for SCFinals, than they would for the Winter Games. I thought also, "we got blown out in Game 7, but nah, there wouldn't be another riot". I left the open viewing party as soon as I saw the smoke from the first overturned car 20m away from me. By the time I reached SkyTrain, there were sirens and social media exploding on how there was fighting and looting.
I don't think I'll ever get over that, and it's a collective pain we share as Canucks fans.
I love the cat hamming it up in the background :)
Look we blew the budget on 2010
So when 2011 came around
Which not many saw coming
Didn't have the money
This is one of thise situations that you remember where you were and what you thought when this took place. I was 8 when this happened and I remember a lot. I was at home (I don't live in Vancouver). I was watching the game of the TV and I felt upset. I wanted Vancouver to win. I was like "Aweeeeee this really sucks. I REALLY wanted Vancouver and the Sedins to win the Cup. Oh well, maybe next year"
At first it was all fine, until me and my family realized that they were rioting and that is was a huge thing. I wasn't alive during the Riot in 94, or whatever year that was. But I was a kid during the 2011 Riot. I was like..... WHY? I know you're all upset, I am too! But why the frick would you riot??
Is winning a Stanley Cup before fire was invented better than never winning a Cup Shannon?
@Carleton Rutherford It's not the same as never winning one, and believe me it's hard to stick up for the Leafs. Imagine how strong teams would be today if there were only six teams? even without Europeans? I get your point but I see things differently
I was at The Rock. Wings v Devils. The previous night I was drinking heavily and was hung over for the game. I didn't want to deal with Jersey fans while hungover so I wore no Wings gear. My friend (a Devils fan) said it would be no worry but given my condition said just go neutral and take it easy just in case. It wouldn't have mattered. Tons of Wings fans plus...the kid with a home cut mohawk in the next section in a Rangers jersey. From start to finish this kid was heckled non-stop. After the second intermission he moved over a section but was spotted again. "There's the kid with the haircut!" and it started all over again. It was amazing. I've never seen some many people gang up on one guy. He took shit from start to finish.
I remember 94, game 6 when we(Vancouver) won I was downtown and it was a celebration. Then game 7 happened.. boy howdy.
Had nothing to do with on the ice. Weve had riots in Denver, after Bronco & Av Titles...I even got caught in the Bronco riot...as a bystander,not participant. But it never made me wish my team never made it to the Finals or SB again. It pissed me off,& I agree with your comments,how stupid it is...but it didn't lessen my enjoyment of my teams accomplishments 1 bit. I can hate what dumb,drunk idiots do...but has nothing to do with the team...or even the city as a whole.
Awesome video man, being a Bruins fan in Winnipeg I was cheering as Vancouver burned, my bad. But I got mad respect for You and Vancouver. I know that I wouldn't be able to do your job, I'd have to have Burbank Studio Fuel to be able to have the chops, keep up the great work bro. Sorry for cheering in 2011.
The only thing i could say when that happened was "you cant blame black people"
That shot on Toronto was priceless. Fire wasn’t invited when the leafs last won the cup 😂😂
19 and a half minute video about Vancouver, he makes a 2 second Leafs joke and a quarter of the chat is giddy with excitement over that. I love how firmly entrenched my team is in everyone's heads. Gee, I wonder why they get so much network airtime.
Next level chirp at 5:08, good one Shannon
I don't understand rioting and looting under any circumstance but over a sporting event blows my mind.
It was really sad for van city. So many punks and idiots it was bound to happen.
That sounds like the plot of a Simpsons episode: Flanders beats Homer in golf and Homer burns his house
5:08 daaaammmmnnn. Savage
13:50 - Shannon straight up sounded like Homer Simpson when He said "Oh if We had won in [1994]". WooHoo.
5:08 Hmmm... I'm gonna start peppering that into my Leafs burns starting today.
I do honestly think the whole 7-0 put it over the top and actually pissed off some canucks fans
I’m half Canadian because my dad used to live in Vancouver British Columbia Canada and go Canucks go and DO NOT RIOT OK !!!
I felt bad for the good Canucks fans and all Canadiens as a Flyers fan having gone through the sweep from the Red Wings !!! I was rooting for the Canucks as my favorite Western Conference team. Very sad to see what happened as we have our lunatics here as everybody well knows !!!
Roberto Luongo was the Western Conference Champion not the Canucks, lol.
I tipped over a mailbox here in Ottawa.
You can't put the entire city of Vancouver under curfew for 10 pm, you're talking martial law for playoff hockey. It's way out of line, people live and work during the night too.
PunkerWithABoner its one night and its to prevent a riot. Shut up and go home.
@@nsldsfv1202 just enforcing those will cost a fortune and have a super negative response from the general public. What you need to do is what they do in Europe : simply have a visible police presence downtown. I don't like cops at all, but a peaceful force is enough to make sure everyone go home in an orderly fashion.
That roast of Toronto was honestly incredible and even better than any 67 joke
The Vancouver riot was like watching the purge with out anybody getting killed.
It wasn't for lack of effort, I have no doubt that there would have been deaths had they somehow won the Final.
I've lived in Vancouver since 2001. This riot was a super embarassing event for this city and for Canucks fans. When the Canucks started losing, people started intentionally coming downtown just to start a riot. I remember seeing smoke billowing from downtown area. Disgusting.
"my neighbor just bested me at golf, i better set my house.on fire" made me laugh
When you say future shop that’s where the best buy is now on Granville or a different location? Wow. It’s crazy. I’m from the Seattle area I’ve been to Vancouver a number of times I’m aware of where the arenas are. I went to a game once a while ago and great fans.
Riots have a reason it is a way to express your anger and that is why it wasn’t taken seriously because people expressed their anger.
Going off on a tangent, I want to push back on the "every city has bad neighborhoods" thing.
That is only a reality based on the way we CHOOSE to set up society.
Many European and especially Asian countries, there are definitely poor neighborhoods but not "bad" neighborhoods based on how they structure their societies via government.
being a canucks fan is accepting that youre in a toxic and a strong love hate relationship, but the high is too worth it HAHA
I'm a Canucks fan. Im not toxic. The toxic ones are the negative doom and gloomers that flood social media like the cockroaches they are
