Stanley Cup: Vancouver Riots as Boston Celebrates…
Downtown Vancouver has the look of a war zone after disappointed Canucks fans watched their team lose game seven of the Stanley Cup finals, 4-0 to the Boston Bruins. More than 100,000 fans packed the downtown area hoping to celebrate the city’s first Stanley Cup Championship, instead chaos erupted. Canucks fans swarmed the area around Rogers Arena and began to get violent, breaking windows of nearby office buildings, overturning and destroying cars and setting a number of fires. Vancouver Riot Police were no hand to disperse the crowd.
CKWX Radio reporter Lara Fominoff in Vancouver was in the middle of it:
The city of Boston has now earned every major sports title over the last 7 years.
