Colorado Avalanche Riots in Denver

DENVER (AP) -- Police in riot gear sprayed tear gas to disperse thousands of rowdy fans who set small bonfires and danced in the streets after the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup.

Reminiscent of Rangers fans rioting in Manchester after the UEFA Cup final... except they lost.
