Allen talking of heart breaking, i was broken hearted to see my fellow Canadians on the west coast behaving in a manner one expects in the third world.
When a hockey game gets you to a state that you stab people and burn cars thats when i think people need to have their head read.
What a way to spoil a great end to the season. There was no doubt the better team won. For Canadians they should have taken pride in the fact that so many of the Boston players come from all over Canada.
But to trash the place like they did and it was not just a few as some would like to have us think. It was many many people that were involved.
This kind of thing brings up a real question for modern day society.
There were those that caused the mayhem, but i also think those that watched and stood by and did nothing but egg them on with cell phone camera in hand are just as guilty of being part of the mess.
The assets that got destroyed belonged to people and to citizens that pay taxes. Somewhere along the line we need to decide when we take a stand for what is right and when the onlooking is unacceptable and we get involved and do as those guys that are overseas in harms way are doing and defend our society and way of life from hooligans.
I am very sorry for the Boston fans to have to have been subjected to this kind of after party. Really bad hospitality on the part of the Canucks fans and it reflects on us all.
At least my NN only hurls abuse at visitors, not gasoline bombs.
