Hockey Riot in Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens' win over the Boston Bruins in the crucial game 7 last night should have been a cause for celebration. And it was -- at the beginning. . .

Then mayhem ensued.:-( Click on the link to read the article and watch the video.

I mean, we had all the reasons in the world to celebrate, what with the way the Habs played to eliminated their archrivals. But this is so stupid. . .

Go Habs Go!

Apparently it wasn't so much hockey fans celebrating as it was the unfortunate convergence of happy hockey fans who were behaving nicely and concert goers who's concert finished up at the same time.

Having been on St Catherine street more than a few times I'm a bit surprised that things turned violent. Drunk, debauched, and more than little, um hazy? sure, but people always seemed to be in a good, if somewhat unfocussed mood. I mean, seriously, it's the first round, traditionally riots are held after winning the whole thing.

In other news: GO FLYERS. This barbaric behavior on the part of our neighbors to the north provides a moral imperative. We must defeat the Canadians lest their wave of savagery runs amok for another round.
