How many times will this be posted this offseason? 3 times, at least, so far
It’s a stupid documentary. Speaking from first hand experience from the 1994 riot. 94 was pure emotion and stupidity. 2011 was a bunch of bitches who wanted to be cool. Case solved.
Why did this take 15 years to make lol L
Oh great, this
Should have been 20 mins no clue how they thought it played well at that length
Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever acknowledge June 15th, 2011 as a day that ever happened.
Life is better that way.
I watched this with a cringe. Shudders….🤦🏻♂️
Lame
Was thoroughly disappointed with the doc. Would’ve loved players or management/coaches/organization opinions and insight on it, and maybe a bit more backstory on the difference between this and 94 etc. Half the doc was just garnering sympathy for the people that got caught.
I just hope this is the last documentary that will address the 2011 riots because I’m tired of people rehashing it over and over and people just need to move the fuck on already.
I knew a riot was coming and watched the game in Poco and was gonna go downtown only if we won. Instead we left in the 3rd period and went to Port Moody rec for ball hockey, and could see the city burning on the TVs in the lobby while we were playing.
Haven’t watched it yet but did they cover skinny Asian kid and/or couple making out in the street?
Cars burning outside my apartment to the point where i couldn’t see out my window, people breaking glass up and down the street, housed 4 people who were too scared to go home. Honestly, the riot hurt more than the loss and really disillusioned me on all out “us against the world!” segment of team fandom. No other team’s fans have put me in, at the time, seemed like a hairy situation.
It really made me more dispassionate about the “cheer loud! woo lets go boys!” elements of the game and made me double down on being a fan of hockey and stats and figures, I just happen to like the Canucks the best. Some of it has come back with the recent runs, and I was born to love the Canucks, but I honestly don’t trust this city if we ever make a run again.
I’ll never recover enough to watch footage of it
Just curious… does anyone else ever talk about the other hockey riots? Edmonton in ’06, and a few of the ones in Montreal over the years. Or did we just out riot the other riots?
Terrible jokes aside, I’d be curious to see other sport riot studies. Around the same time there were other riots – both after big wins and losses. It’d be interesting to dive into the why behind sport riots. Does this doc do that?
Goddamn. People really forgetting Montreal riot in 93?
It was boring!
Maybe I’ll watch it once we win the cup
YMS put it perfectly when he said that this documentary shouldn’t have took itself seriously. There are so much fun you could’ve had doing reenactments, Ken Burns-esque zooms, etc.
Documentary that makes canucks fans and vancouverites look like savages is disliked by canucks fans and vancouverites
