This 4-0 Stanley Cup Game 7 loss and the subsequent riot are embarrassing, man!

Eric called at 4 to say he was leaving - fair enough! We discussed the traffic, reading, chickens in jerseys, and more on the way to Jeremy's. It turned out to be a 4-0 loss (Panago pizza / Raymond / chips / hummus / Uncle Hansel fortuitously forgetting about Bible Study and sports as a replacement idol / Lesley), which really hurt - we did watch the Conn Smythe trophy being awarded to Tim Thomas, and then the Stanley Cup being awarded to the Bruins, plus various interviews and handshaking. Then Christon got the idea to check various sites to see what was being said - of course the VPD was on Twitter and other places! We got a CTV live stream of rioting, violence, people taking the blue fences down / tear gas / smoke / riot police / people taking pictures of the fires around downtown and the parkades / looting the Bay and Sears / injuries / people jumping up and down on police cars and trucks which were set on fire, and Porta-Potties.

Jeremy figured we could go up to the fourth-floor balcony to see the smoke issuing from downtown; at least it was just one area, and not all over the city like in 1994. Eric and I just listened to News 1130 on the way home; more of the same, and no sympathy for them! Teunis was up when I got in, but not for much longer - says he'll set his alarm for 6 AM. OUCH! Caught up with stuff and talked to James briefly, too.
