I know, a few friends I knew left fearing riots. Looks like lots of people did so. However, are there riots? How bad are they if so?
I know I definitely won't be coming into downtown for awhile.

Canucks fans erupt in anger after loss http://bit.ly/lYn9zc


Fans lit a car on fire, set off fireworks and engaged in a flurry of fistfights in the fan zone in downtown Vancouver after the Canucks lost the final game of the Stanley Cup 4-0 to the Boston Bruins.

No injuries were reported, but there were several arrests.

Another fire believed to be in a garbage can sent a plume of smoke above the crowd in the closing seconds of the game.

That video link is now working
I can imagine that fans will be angry, even I found some of the goals unfair

There was a guy in a boston jersey getting curb-stomped just now
