Vancouver Hockey Riot

It's sad to see our beautiful city get destroyed yesterday night after the game. Being a new hockey fan I'm truly devastated to see people who live in Vancouver destroy what we have here. Like every fan I was disappointed that we lost but we were all hopeful for the next upcoming series in September. The Canucks played well but, Boston to me deserved the cup. Tim Thomas was a excellent goalie and I was happy for them. We cannot give up hope in the Canucks I believe they will get the cup soon. Patience and perseverance is key.

The hockey games really brought friends together, eating, cheering, watching, having good times together. It was a great time to get together to watch every game progress. The very last game me and bf went over to our friends house downtown to watch the game. We did think about watching it downtown in front of the CBC station but we decided that it would be too packed since there was going to be an estimated of 100,000 people watching. So, we decided to go watch it at our friends place. Thankfully we were further away from where the riot happened and we got out of downtown Vancouver safely. Here is a photo I took standing in Chinatown. You could smell the smoke in the air. It was devastating I hope that the people who caused the damage in Vancouver would one day see and learn how idiotic their actions were.
