I think most of us who live in Vancouver are embarrassed by what people did. Truthfully, even if the Canucks had won I am sure that there would have been trouble either way. When you get 100 000 people in one small area then there's probably going to be trouble. It doesn't help that a few people showed up with the explicit intent to create a disturbance.
I live downtown where the riots were and it took me two hours to get home that night because they were cleaning up all the tipped/burned/smashed cars and all the bridges and main roads to get there were closed. But the next day everything was neat and tidy and back to order.
Yeah it's ridiculous, we get it. And I'm sure a lot of people are going to have some kind of adverse opinion of people who live here because a few individuals went crazy over a game. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this is not how it usually is.
