The Vancouver Riot

Get your Vancouver Riot memorabilia now. Available for a limited time only, the good folks over at Bang-On have decided to exploit this unfortunate incident which has made Canada look bad and turn it into profit. I would do the same thing. I love Bang-On….I want to get a Luchadore mask from there and start hosting the program with the mask on. Say what you want about my Oilers, but the fans don’t start looting Sears after losing Game 7. The only difference between the Canucks and the Oilers, Flames and the Senators is that the Canucks have let Canada down twice since 1993. I’m just kidding….I feel bad for Luongo and the Sedins, but they see more money in one year than I have ever seen in my whole life, so the sympathy is a bit illogical. Don’t worry Vancouver…it’s not the end of the world. There’s always next year. Detroit choked in ’95 and ’96, but won in ’97 and ’98….so have faith I guess. But then again, Vancouver doesn’t have Steve Yzerman.

Real Fans Don’t Riot

I Survived the Vancouver Riot

These videos remind me of when I finished San Andreas back in December of 2004.

Tim Thomas AKA Canuck Killer

I don’t hate on Vancouver, but cheering for the Canucks when you’re from Edmonton doesn’t make much sense. As for this Boston Pizza scenario below, I thought BP’s was from Edmonton. Oh well, I can never hate on Boston Pizza. I’ve had some great memories there which included a few of my first dates with my girlfriend, a server accidentally spilling root beer on my testicles and indulging in the greatest Pepperoni/Mushroom Pizza possible.

As for Tim Thomas, I have never seen goaltending like that in my entire life and I’ve been watching hockey since 1991. Thomas is right up there with Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur as one of the all-time greats. And the guy was never anxious….it’s like he was high on benzodiazepines. I wish I had his confidence.

Now as for Luongo, I hope Vancouver cuts him a break. It’s not like anyone was scoring for the team. I’m not a Canucks fan, but don’t forget that Luongo was instrumental in Canada winning a Gold Medal.

Roberto Luongo after Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals

The question at 2:47 is just brutal. If it is true, that’s the definition of disloyalty right there. Luongo is the Canucks’ saviour. Five years ago, the Canucks were not even Playoff contenders. Although I’m down with the Bruins because I want the Edmonton Oilers to end the Stanley Cup drought in Canada and because I’m a Tim Thomas fan, I must admit that this is somewhat depressing to watch. The reporters can be so cruel.
