Likasumboodie DROME Happened in 1994 too. It's not the fans per se, but somehow this city has so many hooligans just itching for a reason to go out and smash things.
I don't know what's worse. the Vancouver Riots or the Americans who think ALL Canadians are like this. Pretty ignorant to judge all of Canada based on one day that happened in Vancouver. I think before anyone outside of Vancouver judges us, they should think about the 2010 Olympics and see if their comment still holds up.
I was standing right next to the green pickup during the game as suddenly somebody threw something against the bigscreen... the screen started to flacker and people behind us flipped over the small grey car which you can also see burning in this video. I remember clearly someone spraying around with a firedistinguisher from the grey car before it was even set on fire. After that, we escaped the riots in a restaurant. We couldn't believe it when we saw "our" green pickup was set on fire aswell!
3:35 The two riot cops standing there like, "Well, sh*t I don't know what to do about this. May as well stand here on the street corner while the city around us is vandalized. Wonder if the deli's open, gotta get my sandwich on."
They COULD have, but did you see the G20 (toronto) riot reaction? Lawsuits up the ass for doing what is correct. I also think there weren't enough officers at the moment. I am ashamed that this happened in my country. But i am happy that someone video tapped this. We got a lot of the criminals because people were video taping...
To those who are saying "This isnt the way canandians should act!" or "It was over a stupid hockey game"... I dont think you understand what your talking about, if you were swept up in these riots you wouldent just jump in front of the riots and yell STOP! you would do nothing. So to all those who think they are bigshots by using hindsight on youtube... i challenge you to go out next time and accually do something.
how disgraceful can it get, firefighters have to come in and risk their lives cause some drunken idiot decides to light a car on fire, you trash your streets and then blame the police for brutality when your running up into their faces.
I'm grew up in b.c and love the place. Tell people how proud i am to have grown up in such a place. it's people like this that make a guy regret every word...every single last on of you that had part in damage to property or creating more trouble is a no good loser.
@aturbanboy well if you know how police officers are trained, they are "supposed" to be trained to handle the situations that you just mentioned. Plus the riot squad was there also.
THIS IS SICK! I'm a senators fan, but this has gone out of hand, the people who destroyed their city like this,they're not real canucks fans. I respect all the real canucks fans who put a stop to this and help clean up the city after this depressing lose.
NO WAY this would go on for a fraction of this long with this kind of violence in the U.S, you guys are SO lucky! Try that here, there'd be rubber bullets, flash bangs, armored cars and clubs flying all other the place. At a recent riot, an armored car PLOWED through the crowd at like 2-5 mph, seems slow but people went flying everywhere. Over here, the biggest thugs are the ones with the highest ranks... by the way, has North Korea launched that missle yet? Were still waiting :(
The disturbing part about this, is this was not just kids doing this & it wasn't just kids standing around watching all of this. On a side note, I've never seen a cop w/a turban, that's pretty cool.
if you listen at that part the person in the video says it, i dont know if he was meaning in his perspective its awesome but i think he was quoting the guy in the video xD
What I don't understand is that once the fire was put out, why didn't they just hose down the idiots that kept coming back to do shit they could have just kept hosing them down and that way sooner or later they would have learned that it's not all fun when you get hosed especially when it hurts. Plus I think the flash bangs were stupid they enticed the crowd even more hearing things go "boom" childish people really
Mob mentality -- also called herd or hive mentality -- is the inclination that some humans have to be part of a large group, often neglecting their individual feelings in the process, and adopting the behaviors and actions of the people around them. Whether gathering to grieve, protest, or cheer on a sports team, a crowd can quickly adopt a group mentality. One of the dangers of mob mentalities is the type of influence it can have.
@rinabhullar im sorry but who are you to judge our country and our people and to generlize like that. i was not a member of this riot, nor do i think it is good to do this but. why are you judging us?
What these people don't understand when burning the cop cars is that they and their friends and family have to pay for those with taxes.
+DuhPotato lel hahaha you act as if taxes are payed voluntary. they are burning cars of the ones who protect the ones that rob/thief them (the state)
+BBProduction001 those taxes pay for health care infrastructure old age pension. civil worker such as doctors fireman and policeman.
I'm from Boston and honestly them being sorting losers for this ( not trying to offend anyone) made the win this much better
People worked hard for those cars
I saw a guy in a bruins jersey and a guy in a Vancouver jersey both tipping over the same truck soooo what are they rioting over?
This is so sad :( I felt ashamed to be Canadian in '93 because of what happened in Montreal, but this just makes us look horrible.
At least it´s filmed with a Canon 550D in 1080p with a Tamron 18-270mm :D
I feel bad for the guys that have to clean up after all of this. They are the true heroes
And these people do this because their team lost a fucking hockey game!?!?!?!!!
Likasumboodie DROME Happened in 1994 too. It's not the fans per se, but somehow this city has so many hooligans just itching for a reason to go out and smash things.
They lost game 7 of the Stanley cup finals and they blew the series
We just see the Decline of the American Society.
this is vancouver, this is in canada
great footage!!! cameraman did an excellent job!
this is embarrassing as a fan and a person whom lives in vancouver i was there and i must admit i was scared and just wanted out
To destroy your city after a hockey game is not just stupid, its sad
I don't know what's worse. the Vancouver Riots or the Americans who think ALL Canadians are like this. Pretty ignorant to judge all of Canada based on one day that happened in Vancouver.
I think before anyone outside of Vancouver judges us, they should think about the 2010 Olympics and see if their comment still holds up.
I agree with you there. I see no need for rioting over sports and find it more disgusting when they go out and riot when their team actually wins.
Imagine all these people with this much excitement and power workings towards something more positive. Is it even possible?
So don't go to Vancouver if they lose a hockey game
I was standing right next to the green pickup during the game as suddenly somebody threw something against the bigscreen... the screen started to flacker and people behind us flipped over the small grey car which you can also see burning in this video.

This is why the city of Vancouver doesn't deserve a Cup
3:35
The two riot cops standing there like, "Well, sh*t I don't know what to do about this. May as well stand here on the street corner while the city around us is vandalized. Wonder if the deli's open, gotta get my sandwich on."
the police beating the fuck out of the lad at the start
great coverage, thanks for sharing
so your telling us that if the leafs lost the finals in 7 games, being that close in 45 years toronto would not go fucking crazy?
Its just hocky
Exactly. It is hockey
And people say Boston fans are bad? Good job Vancouver
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the Canadian race.
So why are they letting the drummer play? It only excites the crowd even more....
This isn't Canada, it's Vancouver... Because real Canadians wouldn't do this, nor would they support the Canucks.
whose car are those belongs to o.O ?
Who else is here to see if they can spot any coworkers misbehaving?
You're talking like it was not the case before.
i think they were rioting over the cost of bananas
who's car
They COULD have, but did you see the G20 (toronto) riot reaction? Lawsuits up the ass for doing what is correct. I also think there weren't enough officers at the moment.

@anthonymaw NO ban hockey from vancouver
This does nothing but ruin the reputation of Vancouver and its people.
how disgraceful can it get, firefighters have to come in and risk their lives cause some drunken idiot decides to light a car on fire, you trash your streets and then blame the police for brutality when your running up into their faces.
No. Not all of them.
Canucks fan: ''Fuck Boston!'' (proceeds to smash up his own city)
1:49 the cops are watching thinking "oh shit we are screwed" HAHAHAHAHA
...ok... were you drunk when you wrote this?
was that a prius the firemen were putting out? just let it burn loll
i understand setting cars alight during the g20 but after a loss have people lost some sense of humanity??
id be pretty pissed if i found out my car was on fire.
7:41 police officer with "turban" hahah lollllll
Why?
I'm grew up in b.c and love the place. Tell people how proud i am to have grown up in such a place. it's people like this that make a guy regret every word...every single last on of you that had part in damage to property or creating more trouble is a no good loser.
So is nobody Going to rob a bank while this is going on?
@aturbanboy well if you know how police officers are trained, they are "supposed" to be trained to handle the situations that you just mentioned. Plus the riot squad was there also.

greece is rioting over economy and good ole canda is rioting over a hockey game
Libya wanted a new government, Vancouver lost a hockey game.
8:39 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAH horsesss?????????????
rioting over a sports game? that's fucking bullshit
The disturbing part about this, is this was not just kids doing this & it wasn't just kids standing around watching all of this. On a side note, I've never seen a cop w/a turban, that's pretty cool.
i would have sold the hockey team after this disrespect to your own city.
Stay Classy Vancouver!
This shows just how fucked up and mean people have become.
vancouver makes Canada look bad, i feel horrible to be Canadian right now
1:17 Did anyone else hear that bullet ricochet!?!
I bet some of them are stupid enough to post photos on facebook with their real names of their good "deeds" they did that day ....
Then you're missing out. Vancouver is one of the world's most beautiful cities.
I would not leave my car there
2:05 FUCKING EPIC!!!!
@rinabhullar I hope you are not talking about every Canadian.
And people say americans are mad
Hockey fan here, but WTF why cause this much chaos?
if you listen at that part the person in the video says it, i dont know if he was meaning in his perspective its awesome but i think he was quoting the guy in the video xD
why are 6 police officers taking down 1 man???
FUCK MAN I WAS RIOTING TOO WE FUCKIN LOST THE GAME
That's anSikh of Indian descent, Osama was an Arab Muslim. Two completely different things.
What I don't understand is that once the fire was put out, why didn't they just hose down the idiots that kept coming back to do shit they could have just kept hosing them down and that way sooner or later they would have learned that it's not all fun when you get hosed especially when it hurts. Plus I think the flash bangs were stupid they enticed the crowd even more hearing things go "boom" childish people really
The police were too easy on them, should've charge in there and break up the crowd while the were burning the cars.
It's like a old landlord lady found out you had sex in your apartment, drama happens and you'll get thrown out from it.
Hope insurance covers crazy assholes burning your car to a crisp.
Remember when this same thing happened Montreal after they lost?
Bing42
This was the second time Vancouverites rioted over the Canucks losing the Stanley Cup (1994).
this never would have happened if the cops did there job
And you say football fans are agressive
I never see here burning cars
What the fuck Canada? Seriously? A hockey game?
Yes, they did. EVERY city riots after they lose the MLB championship/ S.C finals/ Superbowl.
woooohhh yea we flipped a car over with 50 people wooooohhh yea!!! Next we'll re-invent the spoon
Is this really acceptable ?

burning police cars is ok... but that are cars of innocent people
its amazing at how many people will cheer at a car being flipped.
Holy shit!! And if in the police car, there were some bullets?!
only if one of these cars had a full tank of gas... blow up anyone close enough to it... jesus!
@rinabhullar im sorry but who are you to judge our country and our people and to generlize like that. i was not a member of this riot, nor do i think it is good to do this but. why are you judging us?
Good job, Vancouver. Almost one whole year and the world still hasn't forgot. How does it feel to be the embarrassment of Canada?
its funny how they are destroying their own city just because of a hockey game
Oh yeah since the riots in montreal never happened ?
Poor guy that had to clean this up....
how does this relate to democracy or any form of government at all...?
WHY?! WTF? Can someone explain what happend?!
Greets from Italy
They lost..
do they hate america this much that they react this way when they lose to our hockey team?
they called Vancouver north hollywood
nothing but drunk hockey fans xD
*lights car on fire* WOO-- FUCK! THAT WAS MY CAR DUDE

A sad episode in Vancouver history.
