Can any one get a hold of GK to see how he faired with last night?
EDIT: Sorry Last night the Cunucks lost to Boston and riot exploded.

Raps, Canadians take their hockey very seriously.

Crazy things seem to be attracted near him.

Here's to hoping this is him: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_878128.html

I'm fine. I wasn't even able to get to work last night as there was no way left into the city. Plus my office was right in the thick of it and I wasn't wading through a war zone and tear gas just to get to work.

I can't really articitulate how I feel about this particular incident without being moderated, however. It was just one core group of fucktards ( those assfucks that show up with masks already on to start shit, not exactly "hockey fans" ) + left over drunken morons and a ton of gawkers that had to stick around just to post pics to their Twitter feed. The only upside of which being that practically every asshole and looter is on tape now.

Police ended up reading the Riot Act. Which I should point out is a life sentence in Canada if you do not comply within 30 minutes. As it is a direct order on behalf of the Queen. We don't fark around when it comes to proper manners.

The only upside to it was a lot of people were trying to stop the looting and many people headed out voluntarily this morning just to help clean up the streets. Its just such a piss off that a thousand morons have permanently stained the reputation of the entire city. When many of those morons probably aren't even from Vancouver itself.

Still, I've lived here long enough to almost start calling myself a Vancouverite, but now I'm not so sure I want to anymore.

Well, glad that you are safe. Sucks that you missed work, but hopefully there was no major damage to your office.

Blimey - I had no idea about all that. Good job you were able to call off work for the riots.

Glad you're safe. Definitely thought about you last night while I was at work. I'm afraid of this happening in Buffalo. Not because we lose, since that happens all the time, but when we finally win the Stanley Cup
