gowlerk 2,249 #1 Posted June 25, 2021 Just making the finals was enough for the first disturbances. Win or lose there will be high emotions in Canada over the chance to bring home the Hallowed Stanley Cup. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/downtown-montreal-habs-police-celebration-riot-1.6079611 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #2 June 26, 2021 What do you mean "Hockey riots BEGIN?" Back in 1985, I was passing through Edmonton the night that the Oilers won the cup. Joyous fans clogged streets as they cheered to victory. Police closed off the High Level Bridge for fear that some drunken idiot might fall off the bridge! Fast forward to 2012 (?) downtown Vancouver was over-run by disappointed drunks when the Vancouver Canucks lost a game. Dozens were arrested when surveillance cameras revealed their vandalism and violence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowlerk 2,249 #4 July 6, 2021 Montreal finally won a game. So of course, tear gas was needed..... https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/delirious-canadiens-fans-watch-game-4-downtown-and-go-home-happy/wcm/5f40cdf8-629d-478e-9a81-42a64620f7aa?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR1rt7ooZ-T8gx3eBolmmQMKS54Sz1QzGxjCEk0kwbRM3pHZQFvtBcZ1QSk#Echobox=1625572368 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #6 July 7, 2021 (edited) Nothing like the crowd's energy after a playoff win. It was crazy being part of it after the Sharks took out Detroit in the 2nd round a few years back. Cant imagine the insanity when the Habs skate the Cup after game 7. Yeah I know, probably not, but stranger things have happened and dammit Canada deserves a Cup after all these years. I'm a Sharks and Toronto fan, so I'm used to rooting for the team most likely to go golfing. Go Habs!! Edited July 7, 2021 by skybytch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muff528 3 #8 July 9, 2021 Montreal really did a good job shutting down the Bolt's power play. (Lightning were missing a key forward, though.) Boat parade in the Hillsborough River in a couple of days. Maybe they'll toss the Cup around between boats. The Stanley Cup twitter account just about dared Tom Brady to throw it.
