  • i think its hilarious how he says that these people dont represent vancouver. these people are from vancouver and they messed up and looted downtown vancouver. these people are apart of your city and you have to take the good with the bad.

  • haha this guys such a bad mayor :P

  • I hold the mayor 100% accountable.

  • You talk about maturity in relation to worshiping a bunch of millionaires playing a children's game - which somehow is a 'responsible' thing to do.

    You can infantalize the populace and have hockey riots, or you can all just grow up - but you can't have it both ways, sorry.

  • Total FAIL of planning by the Mayor.

  • the youths were high on psychiatric drugs given to them by psychiatrists and they went crazy. dont blame the youths for this... the psychiatrists caused it with bad intention!.

  • The police have a lot of work ahead of them. And just like the G20 in Toronto, I hope you idiots destroying your own city get burned as well. "Smile your on candid camera." :-)

  • Canadians are the scum of the planet.

  • @dogdof funny coz you blame the whole country for something a few idiots did...stop being a pussy and get out of your house and say that to a real canadian

  • @dogdof omg your from mexico? and you say canadians are scum of the planet ahahahaha omg the irony ahahahahahahah..mexico your from mexico!!! ahahahahahah

  • I hate how Canadians pronounce been as "bean".

  • THIS GUY PLAYS IT DOWN...BUT IT DOES REPRESENT THE TOWN..BECAUSE IT HAPPENED THERE..PERIOD..TIME TO CHANGE THE STORY AND NOT LET IT AGAIN..TWICE IN 15 YEARS IS ENOUGH

  • Canada is a joke!

  • Comment removed

  • Mayor is guick to criticize that this is not a reflextion of fans.So I must assume that these hooligans showed up by the bus loads from Ontario and Quebec since most Nuck Heads hate us. Well pick up a broom and dust pan,and feel better about yourself cleaning up. Because in Toronto we pick up the garbage as soon as it starts and throw it in the trash head first.Go nucks go your not in the same league. Mr Betman Hamilton On. will support their team.

  • Sorry Mr Mayor - this wasn't a small group of people - it was the fans.

    

  • Blame Canada!

  • The Mayor must take some responsibility for the fact of NOT preparing for this riot. Win or lose I think a lot of people easily expected this outcome and so should have the Mayor. He did Not prepare and left only a relatively few poorly outfitted police officers to deal with a mob of idiots.

  • This was all Clayton Rouche's fault!

  • WTF? blame the weed are you stupid weed makes you chill man

  • @gauguintop Yah its disgusting what they did. Vancouver is a beautiful city. Everywhere will have their asshole, no matter where you go. It makes Canadians look bad, but when you have 10 thousand people volunteering to clean up, it shows alot.

  • they could have burned the whole fucking city down and i'd still be proud to be Canadian..i could give two fucks what other countries think

  • If citizens would turn on these assholes and beat the shit out of them and then turn them over to the police I can guarantee you that this shit would never happen again. Instead they just stand there and watch their city be destroyed while going "Omg omg!! This is f'ed up!! Omg omg!!!"

  • Stfu Bruin fans stop rubbing it in.

  • CANUCK FANS CAN SUCK MI DICK U VANCOUVER DOUCHE BAGS AND BTW IM FROMBOSTON GO BRUINS!!

  • @rickythechicken FUCK THGE BRUINS AND FUCK BOSTON THAT CUP BELONGED TO THE CANUCKS THIS WAS THEIR TIME AND THERE YEAR AND THEIR DREAM AND YOU FUCKING MASSHOLES AND COLIN CAMBELL AND GARY BETTMAN JUST COULD NOT STAND TO SEE THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS! WELL NEX5T SEASON THE CANUCKS ARE GOING TO BE SENDING A WHOLE LOT MORE BRUINS PLAYERS TO THE HOSPITAL! AS WELL AS bLACK HAWKS AND RED WINGS AND EVERY OTHER aMERICAN SCUM BAG TEAM

  • @joeb1963 lol mad

  • @joeb1963 STFU im Canadian and after this bullshit I dont think they deserved it so you know what they lost suck it up you fuckin cry baby if you still have problems im asuming your one of the douchs who were their.

  • @joeb1963 STFU EH!

  • With this, the rest of canada is rubbing there temples to stave off a migrane,

    Dear U.S.A This is VANCOUVER, not CANADA. Please don't confuse the two......

  • ROFL THIS WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY LOSE A HOCKEY GAME. BLAME THE WEED

  • They only did this because NBC wouldn't show the green men

  • Why is it that everyone responds to this video as Canada's gone crazy. Hello it was the City of Vancouver. In the Province of British Colombia. Canada is much bigger that this one province. You can't group us all together, that's Stupid!

  • Angry young men? more like little boys...Canada is out of control...next we will have dogs being raped by cats and tall people getting plastic surgery to become short..This is going to spread into Alaska and all the way to Mexico...the world won't be safe from all these angry Canadians...:} this is like the Boston Massacre!!! Just jokin I love Canada..a good neighbor!

  • I thought Canda was almost the only part of the world with sain people, now im seeing the whole world is pretty screwed up.

  • He seems like a good mayor.

  • He's hot! You guys have a one hot mayor, I sure didn't expect this.

  • Gary Bettman and Colin Cambell as well as the rest of the National Hockey League and the American media branded the vancouver canucks as the villains of this play off series. The Canucks had there cup taken from them how did you think the canucks fans would react? if they want to label the canucks and their fans as anarchist and villains then so be it!

  • @joeb1963 So, are you saying that being a TERRIBLE loser was the right way to go about it? o-o So you lose the cup, the RIGHT way to go about it is to plan to get it next year, not torch a car.

  • Perhaps if you didn't spend nearly $2 million on useless bike lanes, the city would have had the money to pay for police to already be down there lining the streets. Even failing that, you could have taken money from the the Olympic Village site. Oh, wait, you turned that into a social housing ghetto which no ones wants to buy into. Good job, Gregor. Can't wait to see you voted out in November.

  • @RockoSDMF hello!!!! it doesnt matter how many cops you have! it was going to happen win or lose! you cant control these fans! you cant get control of everyone! like seriously use your head! edmonton and montreal had tons of cops! and they still couldnt control their riot! think a bit its not as easy as it sounds!

  • @Smashly61 Of course it still would have happened, it was inevitable. But had they been given the approval to have police brought in before the start of the game, it would have allowed for contingency plans to be put into place quicker, and possibly even prevented it from spreading as far as it did. Everything looks good in hindsight, though. I just think City Hall had a lot to do with why police presence downtown was minimal given the size of crowd.

  • The riots make me proud to be Canadian, you other pussies can gtfo.

  • @xavick24 suck in hockey stupid canadian

  • this mayor is useless .....

  • No one involved in all that rioting shit was from Vancouver!! People come to live in Vancouver to get away from assholes like that. Good thing everyone's got a camera

  • he fully ignored the fatality question

  • I wish I wasn't Canadian thanks alot assholes

  • @StoryBookMaker Fuck you !!! you should born in a shit hole than !!!

  • @StoryBookMaker

    even if this hadnt happened, you should still wish you werent canadien

  • @StoryBookMaker move to america... lol

  • @StoryBookMaker go cry somewhere else loser

  • O..o the Jails in Vancouver are gonna be fully packed!!

  • by hooligans i think that he meant huge douches, but that's just me.

  • HEY GUYS SMALL NUMBER COMPARED TO THE ACTUAL POPULATION, dont just base it on what you see

  • Keep believing your own denial Mayor. Hooligans? So when Canuck fans wear Canuck gear and burn and destroy things. They are not hooligans? So Canuck fans are only Canuck fans when you say so. Small number, really open your eyes there were thousands that hung around and joined in the looting and destruction. Wake up.

  • @GnomeMIA its a small number compared to the actual amount of people literally causing the riot dum ass.

  • they should never have rioted in vancouver, they should have marched their asses down to boston and rioted there.

  • small number of hooligans?

  • how they gonna put 100,000s ppl in jail ?

  • You can assume this riot happened because there were too many drunks curious of how manly their egos are. In the end they showed us how stupid and lame they really are. Goodluck to the quiet Van folks.

  • It would cost anything the way i would do it. I'd make the punks work on a chain gang fixing the stuff they destroyed.

  • Good looking man

  • @sexymonkeys He looks like David Hasselhoff.

  • Fuckin up.our awesome city, already in so much dept. Not smart at all.

  • Put the Bastards in a cell for a couple months. Make the pricks pay for being so stupid. Those useless punks make me sick.

  • @thorfoot1 wouldn't be enough room and it costs money to hold people in prisons

  • blame it on the water

  • BRUINS WIN!!! YAY!

  • gregor is an idiot go build another bike lane u clown

  • Where is Stanley Today? In the U.S probably smelling of beer, getting a healthy breakfast in him, gearing up for a few more months of partying. I did not see him on the list to help clean up Vancouver!

  • In the beginning he says they had a FEW hooligans? They had like. All of Vancouver rioting.

  • What a handsome mayor we have. Too bad we have so many ugly personalities on the streets.

  • what good mayor calm and collect if that was me id be going off ma nut at these pointless idiots

  • Stay Classy, Vancouver.

  • @caseyshadow101 im aware, but they are making it look like its because of our loss that they are rioting. if we won they wouldve made it look like it was because they were so happy.

  • To Vancouver

    Thanks for taking the attention of negative fan behavior off of us for a little bit - we still have to hear about how Santa Claus got hit with snowballs in the 50s or 60s and for awhile you'll feel like your city is the only one with jackasses but its everywhere. Don't worry we'll get bashed soon again for something - maybe another fat kid from Jersey will try and throw up on a little girl again at Phillies game.

    with love

    Philadelphia

  • @hammertime12345678 So snow balls thrown at santa claus is the same as police throwing flash bangs into a crowd? Dude, get a life. Real fans don't destroy property after a lost. I'm not from Canada, nor do I watch hockey. However, any common sense person can tell that the people out there rioting were not fans. They were bunch of drunken, drug out, violent morons looking to cause problems regardless of the outcome of the game. Every nation has these jackasses.

  • @paidday you missed my point, called me an idiot and said obvious comments about how every town has jackasses.....The point I was making is that Vancouver is now "branded" as a city with awful sports fans and every reporter will bring this up for years-thankfully for vancouver few in the USA really care so it won't be so bad-they still brand philly fans and bash them every chance they can because its easy and lazy - hence the reference to santa clause. I'm sure you get it but just want to argue.

  • @hammertime12345678 Did you here of the LA riots in 1992, or the berkley riots in 2009? People tend to miss our own riots but when its another countries, they will "never forget"

  • Oh!, Canada!

  • The Stanley Cup doesn't belong in a city or a country like that. If they saw the cup out there in the streets, they'd probably heave that into a fire, too. Good ole Lord's Stanley Cup is returning back home to the U.S.A. for it's 19th year. Nice and safe here :)

  • @fineshot2000 what planet are you from safe there????

  • @fineshot2000 - umm do you realize the Stanley Cup lives in the hockey hall of fame in TORONTO Ontario CANADA right?.. lol @ being back home in the USA.. btw the majority of that Boston team is Canadian..

  • fuckin gross

  • Vancouver is such a beautiful city its a shame to see this happen

  • Hahaha a "small number"...typical bullshit-artist politician.

  • @KaneRobot Its a small amount compared to the population...

  • @caseyshadow101 also, no people died after "one loss"

  • @caseyshadow101 its a stupid cup... honestly wasnt worth last night either way both is bad, but its a stupid cup

  • New Orleans, BC. Rioting, looting, fire. Imagine if they had guns.

    The Vancouver fans are the worst, booed the Star Spangled Banner instead of singing, booed the NHL Commissioner during the presentation then burned the city down. What a bunch of sore lousy losers. Reminds us of when Vancouver booed the USA bantam hockey team.

    The Stanley Cup: Property of the United States of America.

  • a small group of troublemakers? HELLOOOOO

  • For those of you American's 'No' its only Vancouverites who do these loser things in Canada. Classless people tend to move to Vancouver for some reason. I've Noticed Lots of these guys working in Alberta. I will say hey why are you building that like that? They say: this is the way we do it in BC. wonkiest Tradesmen! goofiest people!!

  • @seventy18 wat

  • Get the people safe by taking them down the bike lanes you built Greggor

  • GO WINGS

  • I could care less about the rest of Vancouver but is the Ed Edd n Eddy studio okay?

  • Way to go Vancouver. Real CLASSY.

  • If I were a player on the canucks, I would be ashamed to play for this fan base, not all but for the people who were involved, what a bunch of dummies.

  • fuck that,when your team plays like that in the most important game OF the canucks franchise...YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO START A RIOT!

  • @ochoxxcincoxx Do you think that the store owners or police force were responsible for the Canucks failure to win?

    Wait - it was the CITY OF VANCOUVER'S FAULT FOR PROVIDING A PLACE FOR YOU TO ENJOY THE GAME!!! Shame on them for doing such a kind thing FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT. They are paying for the damages.

    Next time STAY HOME and riot there - wait - don't do that, you sound like a renter or probably still live with mom. They are not responsible for the hockey game eithe

  • @ochoxxcincoxx You are a fucking dumb-ass......

  • @michaelbarile um hello, there's obviously going to be people taking pictures and stuff, just caught up in the adrenaline. There was only around 100 people actually CAUSING damage, I would know I was there.

  • @ChicSunglasses yeah but because of those people that stood there and took pictures, the police couldnt get to the people who were causing the damage. they just should have listened to the police and gone home.

  • @michealbarile um hello, there's obviously going to be people taking pictures and stuff. There was only around 100 people causing damage, I would know, I was there.

  • its men and women that did this shit to our city.. what horrible 'fans' they are to destroy where they come from because they lost. fucking idiots.

  • It's the city of Vancouver's fault also, for allowing 100,000 fans to just stand around in the streets. I also fail to believe alcohol wasn't available (which they claimed during the game). Considering in one clip, there's a bunch of guys with beer bongs.

  • This is a demonstration of letting young men who are white and seeming not poor act out their deparved indifference to others, quite possibly not awaiting for the crowds to thin out ,but actually using the crowd size as cover to do what they want : indifference to others, imitation American socio culture. You see this as a pass , behaviour on TV. Hardly any one under eighteen invovled by the looks of it.

  • @freetoliv White guys?Dont u know how bunch of niggers act ?

  • Stupid asshole losers!!!!!! Turn them in people, if its your child, cousin, brother, friend does'nt matter if you know who they are turn them in!

  • Small number?

  • Canadians are crazy I thought they were peaceful, I mean its just hockey calm down.

  • @b800ful JUST HOCKEY!? 

  • @sum41him Yes JUST HOCKEY its a sport so what get over it try again next year, you must be canadian.

  • @b800ful I'm from Minnesota. and it's called a sense of humor. i said "JUST HOCKEY!?" with sarcasm.

  • @sum41him oh my bad. USA

  • How embarrasing... all this after a great reputation after the olympics. These Trouble makers need to pay for this! Disgusting! These idiots belong in a Zoo!

  • Just because there are a few people out there who think that it's fun to "riot" or to create havoc doesn't make Vancouver a second-rate city! For every classless person out there creating a mess, there is another person who will come down and help clean that mess up because they genuinely love this city and want to show that events like last night do not define who we are!

  • I lived through this idiocy in Montréal as well. Canada doesn't get a ton of international press - glad these buffoons decided that this is the image we once again want to send to the world. God bless our beautiful country and may God have mercy on the souls of these imbeciles.

  • Canucks hockey team is a bigger disgrace than these fans. RIOT WHEN YOU WIN

  • All the sympathy gained from the Olympics faded away within 2 hours. Good work.

  • Gregor doesn't want to take the blame for enacting the public "fan zones" that caused this riot

  • what the fuck...no means of representative or Vancouver? this stuff happens here, then it's representing what Vancouver is like.

  • Did he say "a small number of hooligans"? What a dope. What a second-rate town. This same crap happened in 1994. Definitely not interested in visiting this place with all the knuckleheads. Vancouverites, keep telling yourself that this would happen in any major city yto make yourselves feel better.

  • Check all film, pictures etec. find these punks and make them pay for all damages and sit in prison as well.

  • Of course it represents the city of Vancouver - who else!!!!. Why put up big screen TVs in Vancouver and bring in a hundred thousand people and not have enough police to control them. It's not as if this hasn't happened before. Why were the military not called in, the police were in danger themselves. I suggest the mayor take a look at the police action in Greece and learn lesson on how to quickly overcome the mob. The looters etc., should be tried under the terrorist Act.

  • @yvonne100ism Canadian governments like to show they trust the majority of Canadians. Were setting examples around the world by not taking away freedoms after a very small minority group of shit heads try an start a riot. The majority of people went home to their families after the game. It may not be the easy way of doing things but it sure is the most fair to the majority of people who can go out an enjoy a safe and fun night outside.

  • I blame the inbred

  • took a lot of money out of taxpayers for the olympics so i doubt cleaning up the city would be a problem

  • We should use this as a pretense for invasion.

  • It's all young brats from the suburbs. no different than granville on a friday night, they come in to the city and act out because it's not their town.

  • "Small Number". lol!

  • "Small number of hooligans". Where was he looking?

  • Theres a FB group of 10 thousand people attending tomorrow to clean up Vancouver. Lets show them that not everyone in Vancouver are pigs with too much alcohol. While the rioters are barfing from alcohol and getting charged, the real fans (with no work/school/lve in the area) will be cleaning up their mess!

  • @Hillbilly2833

    vancouver,

    you make canadians look bad. this wasn't just "a few" hooligans as your mayor said, it was several hundreds! this just reinforces what many ppl think of vancouver. what's worst? your mayor and police chief fail to hold themselves accountable for what's happened. this is so embarrassing for canadians!

  • @gauguintop It is a few hooligans. Everyone else were just sheep following the destruction that the few hooligans started.

  • well done except for when they were beating the civilians that were trying to make it home safely.. -.-

  • This idiot mayor was too busy planning victory parades when he should have saw this coming. No way this idiot will get re-elected. I hold HIM accountable for not adequately preparing for this.

  • lol i knew there was going be riot History tends to repeat itself

  • you don’t have enough jail cells for this one dude… you don’t have as much power over citizens as you would like to think… it’s not because of the lost game… it’s something much larger going on here...

  • it's the same as last time they were up for the Stanley cup, it's not about rioting over a loss, people are just beyond pissed off that the Canucks are so fucking useless... it's not even like we respectfully lost tonight, we got shut the fuck out on the final game.... what a joke. and the mayor is under playing it, the riot is far from a "small number" of people lol

  • Most Vancouver fans are just bandwagon jumpers who whine like pussies when their team is losing, but when the Canucks were winning they magically went from hating and whining to loving the Canucks, of course they would riot when the Canucks lost the cup. And that is why Vancouver doesn't deserve the cup.

  • Good job trashing our own beautiful city

  • a small amount? good one

  • "Small number"

    ...lol

  • hahaha hoolagans xD

  • I HOPE EVERYONE WHO IS INVOLVED GETS CHARGED AND BILLED. THERE SOOOO STUPID WE ALL ARE TAX PAYERS WE FOOT THE BILL ALL THE PEOPLE RIOTING ARE PAYING FOR THE ACTIONS BY PAYING TAXES. THIS IS STILL THE MOST EMBARISSING SH*T FOR VANCOUVER CANUCKS SUCK AND SO DO ALL THE DRUNK FANS

  • I DID NOT SEE THIS HAPPENING... 1994...

  • Thanks to all of the losers out there - great way to remember tremendous efforts of the Canucks

  • @signingupbob if that was a tremendous efffort by the conucks then we suck a huge cock

  • @hockeybry I was referring to the entire season, they did not play their best in game 7 or they would have won.

  • Well said mayor. I'm so mad at these extremists who are using our loss as a reason to steal and destroy our city. disgusting.

  • @ChicSunglasses Extremists? there were at least 2 or 3 thousand people around those fires....thats alot of extremists

  • ITS NOT SHAMEFUL!! WHATS SHAMEFUL IS HOW THE FUCK THAT GAME WAS REF'ed!!

    WHATS SHAMEFUL IS ALL THOSE CALLS THAT WAS MISSED ON BOSTON! I WOULD"NT BE SURPRIZED IF A REF GOT KILLED OVER THIS!!

  • They need to hide your kids and hide your wives hide your kids and hide your wives cause they are raping everybody out there.

  • @modernricky THEY NEED TO HIDE YOUR KIDS AND HI

    No. Im "raping" your mom.
