"Riot control is not the League's problem, and the issue here is that Vancouver seeks to make it the League's problem so the blame can be shared if this crap happens for a third time in the city during a Cup Final. 'Hey, thanks for pumping millions of extra dollars into our local economy for three months … can you handle crowd control, too?'" [Puck Daddy] More »

Kurtenblog dug up this unseen raw footage of the birth of the Canucks riots, from outside the Post Office where the first flipped, flaming car kicked off the night. It's a frightening testament to mob psychology, and does make you wonder at the lack of visible police. More »

More people than ever before watched game seven of the Stanley Cup finals Wednesday night, and that's a good thing for hockey. Both the league and fans hoping for growth should delight that the NHL had its best American TV rating in 38 years even though one of the teams came from Canada. More »

Patrice Bergeron's shorthanded goal made it 3-0 Boston in the waning moments of the second. For all intents and purposes, it was an insurmountable lead and was the moment the Cup engravers could start checking their spelling. But it was also a microcosm of so many things that swung the series for the Bruins. More »

After the public embarrassment comes the public shaming. Enterprising Vancouverites have set up a page where you can upload your photos of last night's troublemakers, and more importantly, identify any that you recognize. VPD will announce later today how to narc out these assholes (and we'll update here). Remember: crowdsourced justice is the best justice. [Facebook] More »

At about the three-minute mark in this video, the band of drunks redirects its impotent rage onto a man (described in the YouTube video as a security guard) who tries to keep them from smashing the department store windows. I'm still trying to make sense of when a sports-related riot shifts from being about shit-stirring drunkenness and becomes sinister; this seemed to be one of many of those moments in Vancouver last night. We hope this guy — who was helped away with a bloodied head by two kind souls — is okay. More »

Tonight marks the 16th Stanley Cup Finals series to go to a Game Seven. One of those games went to overtime. Canadian teams are 6-5 overall; one of the five represents the time the Canucks helped end the New York Rangers's half-century drought in 1994. More »

Playoff hockey belongs to goalies. But recently it's belonged to goalies you've barely heard of beforehand—think of Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Miikka Kiprusoff, Cam Ward, Ilya Bryzgalov, Nikolai Khabibulin, Michael Leighton, Ray Emery, Antti Niemi—many of whom you barely hear of afterward, too. Every goalie in that list made a Stanley Cup final from 2003-10. In 2010-11, only two still started for the teams they took to the finals, even though all are still in the NHL. (Same goes for Chris Osgood, who played in the finals with Detroit in '08 and '09, and Dwayne Roloson, who was there with Edmonton in '06.) More »

If the Bruins go on to win the Stanley Cup despite an inferior resume to that of the Canucks, no one will blink. There's nothing unusual about the better team losing a playoff series. Seven games isn't enough to guarantee a representative result. But if the Canucks win, they'll cap off one of the most unlikely, albeit unimpressive, achievements in sports history. More »

Should the Canucks win one of the next two games, they'll partake in one of the greatest traditions in pro sports: spending time with the Stanley Cup. But will they, or the Cup, receive the White House invite that's standard for championship teams? More to the point, would an American President honor a Canadian team? It's a question loaded with nationalist questions, and one worth exploring. More »
