but they were booing gary bettman, i know i heard a "bettman sucks" chant from the fans. also heard a few f-bombs being dropped during the passing of the cup, congrats boston, although it pains me to congratulate any team from boston, when you have to choose between the lesser of two evils,
Yes....I feel bad for Boston for not winning the cup in the last 25 years, even though they've won Super Bowls, World Series, and NBA titles in the last decade.
I would have traded all those Superbowls, World Series and NBA title for this one Cup championship! Luckily, I didn't have to!!!!
Downtown Vancouver was destroyed. The riot aren't actual Canucks fans just a bunch of people that had a reason to cause trouble (since canucks lost) video I took a couple hours after the game: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Ndm_QcR8Y&feature=channel_video_title[/ame] riot videos: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkVdnUuEwhY[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1HPn1qGIps[/ame]
Congrats Boston! Great series and I think Boston deserved what they got. They played as a team and won as a team. Tim Thomas wasn't too bad either Luongo and the Sedins are gonna hear about this one from the fans and media, as they deserve to. They had a chance to be the difference makers in this series and didn't show up in the form they needed to. Although Chara did a great job of shutting down the Sedins... Thought it was classy of the fans to cheer for Thomas when he got the Conn Smyth and to cheer their team in the last couple minutes of the game. Bettman gets booed everyday of his life, so I think he's used to it. Wasn't happy to see the town break out in riot after the game. It's definitely not what Vancouver is about. Usually just the work of a few morons. All in all, a great season (despite my Kings bowing out early) and a great playoffs!
Mike, you are right - I didn't mean to take away what Boston did....they won, fair and square, they were the better team, Tim Thomas is an all-star and deserved the Conn-Smythe....but the Sedins disappearing act is inexcusable.
I have quite a few iPhone photos I'll post later; inhaled a little bit of muster gas myself....man it stings. Was hard to leave downtown with riot police on every corner.
Well, here are some pictures from the Bruins parade on Saturday to close out this thread. I took my younger daughter into the pre-parade rally at the Garden.

Nice to know that at least one player (Tim Thomas) is still sporting the playoff beard....I've grown attached to mine and will keep it a little longer.
OK, a couple more pics and THESE will close out this thread. The Bruins invited all season ticket holders to have a photos taken with the Cup. Here are a few of my older daughter. She also got to try on some jewelery. Girls love jewelery. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
