View Full Version : What's the deal with Canadians going nuts after hockey wins?
MONTREAL - Police say 41 people have been arrested in the mayhem after the Montreal Canadiens’ Game 7 victory over Pittsburgh.
Some stores were looted and police fired tear gas at hundreds of bottle-tossing fans after Wednesday night’s game in which the Canadiens ousted the defending champions to reach the Eastern Conference final.
Now some merchants worry about what awaits in the next series against Boston or Philadelphia. But they also acknowledge that the Canadiens’ great playoff run has electrified the city and boosted business.
Montreal has a history of hockey violence. Cars were burned and downtown stores trashed in the 2008 playoffs. Chaos followed Montreal’s Stanley Cup victories in 1986 and 1993.
It's like they're not any good at anything else so they have to go batshit crazy when their country does something that brings international acclaim.

Indeed. I'll have to check those vids out when I get home.
Seems everytime I hear about fans going crazy and causing massive amounts of property damage the words "Canada" and "hockey" usually play into it somehow.

This is how we do it. I literally lived about 15 houses down from here. I still get my hair cut next to that bank. My boy owns a jewlery shop about 6 stores down from that bank.

If you youtube "cottman and frankford", you will see a bunch of vids like that. That place was a fuckin mad house when the Eagles beat the Falcons to go to the super bowl. It snowed the day before, they were hitting the police horses with snow balls and shit.
I moved away before the Phillies won the World series, and from what I heard, it was worse.
Anyone know what happened when the Saints won the Super Bowl?
New Orleans seems like the kind of city that would've just completed destroyed its shit.
