Maybe, maybe not.

Since we live in WI but on the border on MN you get MN Twins and the Milwaukee Brewers fans and a HUGE Vikings and Packers rivalry. However I've never seen any celebrating get out of control around here.Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290616156300143483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-41572101857229752872011-06-17T17:12:58.665-07:002011-06-17T17:12:58.665-07:00both my dad and my husband are from boston, so the...both my dad and my husband are from boston, so there was much rejoicing in my family. i only discovered a love for hockey a few years ago, thanks to my dear colorado friends, which means i attached myself to the avs pretty early on. oh well. :)kimbirdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933291126592725297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-89929325383624000492011-06-17T15:19:17.091-07:002011-06-17T15:19:17.091-07:00I understand the excitement and pride a city feel ...I understand the excitement and pride a city feel when they win a championship (Hello, SF Giants).

So sad to see what happened afterwards. Vancouver is a beautiful city which I've visited many times and I can attest to the fact that the people of Vancouver are warm, friendly and so accommodating. A far cry from the disorder that took place Wednesday evening. <br /><br />It's nice to see how the city has responded and I hope this doesn't shed a lasting negative light on such a wonderful place. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend, sweetie xoxoTHE ALTERNATIVE WIFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593507545118567343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-52468828767324139452011-06-17T08:58:31.412-07:002011-06-17T08:58:31.412-07:00i was borderline obsessed with Hockey - we had sea...i was borderline obsessed with Hockey - we had season tickets for YEARS - never missed again - ice level - it was amazing - (NJ Devils fan) - then i moved to FL and i dunno hockey just got put in my past - i use to rent ice to play and everything - i was SUPER into it . thought i was gonna be first girl hockey player :o) haha - for realz tho!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741606747568476782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-714746568235535932011-06-17T08:25:45.138-07:002011-06-17T08:25:45.138-07:00I'm not a hockey fan but I'm very angry th...I'm not a hockey fan but I'm very angry that things like this happens all the time all over the world. I think sports should unite and unify people. I know all fans are not alike and most of Canucks fans didn't want something like this to happen so I hope that everyone understands that this was (and I really hope it was!) a lonely incident.Starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744373842226110455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-81604516120921757302011-06-17T07:26:49.844-07:002011-06-17T07:26:49.844-07:00I was in Vancouver a few years ago and remember it...I was in Vancouver a few years ago and remember it as a beautiful, clean city filled with friendly people, so I was also disappointed to hear about the handful of hockey fans who took things way too far.

Hockey's not really a passtime for us. <br /><br />However, my husband is a huge sports fan so I've seen the coverage on ESPN... and I couldn't believe it! I hate that a minority of unruly fans ruined it for everyone. it's a real shame. <br /><br />I'm glad to know first hand that your city is banning together to make things right.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466066738769506964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-63517911277428587932011-06-16T19:05:29.890-07:002011-06-16T19:05:29.890-07:00i saw pictures about the riots and had assumed the...i saw pictures about the riots and had assumed they were political protests so I was really surprised when I saw it was about the hockey.<br /><br />it's such a shame when this happens. it doesn't happen a whole lot here in australia (we don't have ice hockey teams but we do love football and cricket) but when I lived in the UK there was always a really strong police presence, a lot of them on horses, every time there was a big football/soccer game in london. i think a lot of people just get caught up in the chaos and no doubt alcohol just fuels the fire. <br /><br />it's certainly something the compeletely baffles me as well!SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638931178712128465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347721676027602600.post-71230478008599121212011-06-16T18:47:35.505-07:002011-06-16T18:47:35.505-07:00What a lovely post...My hubby and I are not regula...What a lovely post...My hubby and I are not regular hockey fans. In fact 'So you think you can dance', which was on the other channel at the same time the game was on last night, got the major part of our attention. But we couldn't ignore it all together! After all we are Massachusetts residents!! LOL Boston is a neighboring city. I was very happy for all of the smiling Bruins fans last night. And tonight I'm also happy for all of the Canuck fans too...because they were very well represented by your lovely post. Made me want to come to Vancouver and say 'Hello!' :-) You're a very good writer too! {Coming from a chatter-box Poet!
