And the NHLs fans don't seem to mind.

You mean all 10 of them in North America???

Comparatively speaking,of course...

The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!

Yes there second, third, fourth, fifth and so on. That's how they decide who plays who in the playoffs. By losing the finals the Canucks still finished ahead of all the teams that either didn't make the playoffs in the first place or bowed out in the earlier rounds. The Leafs would have killed to lose in 7.

In professional team sports there's always a champion, and then everybody else. You think the Canucks are thinking "yay, at least we finished in 2nd place?". And do you think Tampa Bay or San Jose is thinking "yay, at least we finished in 3rd or 4th place?". This isn't the Olympics. There is no silver and bronze medal!

Hey,it's a niche/seasonal sport that plays 2/3rds of its games out of season...There's a reason for this and it's not because it's popular!

No, the fans truly love and respect the game. Even when the home team loses badly in game 7

Nice job Tim Thomas! Nice run Vancouver!

I was cheering for the Canucks but Im kinda glad its over. I need to get out 40 more times to pay for my golf membership!

I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger

Hope that our gladiators finally get their mug back....what's with this new modern hockey? They all have beards and look like Romans? You know that the government is up to no good when they push the games on the people to dumb them down.

If I understand properly, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. Vancouver has lost. (Do I have this right?)

----

I have a question for posters on this forum: How many players on the Boston team are Canadian? How many American?

IMV, nationalism/ideology/religion should be treated as we North Americans treat hockey or baseball teams.

In North America, Canadian fans shout for a baseball team (Toronto Blue Jays) filled with American players, and American fans shout for a hockey team (Boston) filled with Canadians. Imagine.

Now, imagine a world where Muslims shout for a team of Christians. Imagine.

I think they refuse to shave until Gillette or Aqua Velva gives someone a big endorsement contract like baseball or football players.

Oooooo...it's getting much worse. Bringing out the rubber bullets, next, me thinks.

Krikey...it looks like a G8/G20 summit meeting out there! Canuck fans rights are being violated! Harper will pay! ;)

I like the chubby woman standing atop "the burnt husk of a car" on Georgia street.

It's the worst yet re: riots for Vancouver. A chum of mine lives right there (20 floors up luckily) and he claims one dead, many injured....but who knows?

Damn...no wonder nobody else in Canada was cheering for Vancouver. It looks like Detroit! ;)

Stabbings? WTF? This is not your run of the mill Stanley Cup or NBA Finals riot. There must have been some agent provocateurs!

There are the usual suspects moving through the crowds. Black bandanna types. But it seems more a grass-roots affair. They're breaking out the rifles right now...

Cool...in a Beavis-Butthead kinda way. I'm watching the live CTVBC feed. Release the dogs!
