Habs Advance to Round 2; Idiocy Reigns

Posted on 22 April 2008 by tanith6227

The Montreal Canadiens finally dispatched the tenacious Boston Bruins last night in a 5-0 Game 7 win at the Bell Center to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Their next foes have not yet been determined.

However, the relief and celebration of fans were marred by violence as a small riot broke out downtown. Some 16 police cars were vandalized - as many as six of them set ablaze - and an equal number of people were arrested.

God help us if they go all the way.

    I really hate this shit. You know our city is starved for sporting success when getting through the first round of the playoffs sparks a riot. Disgraceful.

    I’m just disappointed that no one succeeded in stabbing Tanith. Foiled again!

    Well, I was home at the time.

    On the other hand, the cat dug his little claws into my leg, distracting me from Day of Defeat, which resulted in my getting shot through the head with an STG 44, which in turn is essentially being stabbed with a bullet.

    There’s a rumor going around that the car burning was part of a viral protest against police brutality, timed because the perps knew they would get away with it - win or lose, there was always going to be a lot of action monday night.

    Even if that seems far fetched, I find it unlikely that fans exiting the bell centre did much looting. More likely, imo, it was opportunistic criminals who knew they’d have a better chance in the post-game celebrations.

    That might not be true either, or it could be a combination of fans and crooks, but the police are heavy handing it anyways.

    …now, what does that cat have to do with it…
