There were a lot of angry hockey fans in Vancouver last night as the Canucks lost to the Ducks and are now out of the playoffs.

Vancouver is known for being very passionate about hockey and it was probably a good thing that this game was played in Anaheim. In 1994 when Vancouver lost game 7 of the Stanley cup finals in Vancouver there was a huge riot with fights, people breaking windows, destroying city property and looting. Over 500 police officers were needed to control the riot, pepper spray and rubber bullets were used. A lot of people were arrested and even years later they were still looking for suspects that were caught on video.
