One of the several police cruisers that was burned
What kind of people think that a riot is a good way to celebrate? I'll never understand this. Apparently, this isn't new there. According to the article, "A similar riot after a Stanley Cup victory in 1993 caused major damage." This type of post-win mayhem has happened in other places, and I'm always mystified. I just can't relate to violence as a way to celebrate. What's wrong with people?

And it's the first round for god's sake. I love my Bruins but come on. Beating them in seven games wasn't exactly a major accomplishment. Some people will use any excuse.
i attended a football game at my alma mater and the students charged the field and tore down the damn field goal.
i just sat there and watched people hurt themselves. LOL, i don't understand it either...

This was absolutely shameful. The police are now confiming that the 'riot' was actually orchestrated - that is to say that a small group of troublemakers (not necessarily Canadiens fans) actually planned the whole thing. The whole thing was completely embarrassing.
(Yay Canadiens!)
This happened in Detroit once--maybe a baseball game? they set many things on fire.
It seems to happen a lot with sporting events, I've noticed.
Your guess is as good as mine...
