Great for the boys to bring Kat Jayme to the show again (I don't think Donnie's cameo in the documentary is the reason, lol) - she has done some very good work re-telling and unfolding some of Vancouver's sport stories. I hope to be able to watch this documentary soon...
13 years later, I still feel sick to my stomach watching this. The lowest point of my home-town's history. Simply embarrasing. Hope this never happens again...
I look forward to seeing that documentary, my friend's dad worked downtown for impark at the time, he lost interest in the Canucks after witnessing the riot.
11:14 That picture happened because she had gotten knocked down by the police, and her boyfriend was consoling her. It wasn't that they just decided to start making out in the middle of the street during the mayhem.
So will be interesting if they actually label the NHL as the cause of the riot. Anyone that is a die hard hockey fan watched and seen what happened. In the series with Boston the rules changed after game 3 (I think it was that game) where if they allowed the Canucks to skate the series would be over is 5. The NHL changed the rules after that game back to the goon days of no calls of cross checks and other infractions. It was disgusting what the NHL did. Watching one of the Sedin’s getting cross checked across the lower back multiple times and no call. I really believe the riot would of never happened if the game was called as it was from the beginning. What the “rule change” did was infuriate the fans and caused the riot. I have not watched and will not give the NHL a dime after that. This all started with the final series when Tampa Bay played Calgary in the finals and the reffing changed to help TB for promoting hockey in the southern US. Hockey has become a spin off of WWE. It is just entertainment and not a sport of beat team wins. Question you will ask is why no players will come forward??? Would you if it made you millions. (From a former NHL player I know). LMAO!
I was there. Game 7 started at 5pm Pacific. I arrived at the Railway at 3pm and I couldn't get a fu$%ing seat! I'd been at the Railway since the beginning of the SJ series, so I'd been downtown for a number of the post game activities. The day of game 7 there was a different vibe downtown, considerably more people in the DT core. The media post game made it look like half the city was ablaze. Typical MSM! Lol. I saw a big fight with 100 guys swarmed around videoing it with their phones. That happened on Georgia at Georgia/Granville. About 20 RCMP were standing in the middle of the street there, just 25 yards away from the fight. I walked up to one of the cops and said, "Hey you're missing out on the MMA!" He replied, "We're here". Lots of mayhem, smashing windows, guys trying to overturn a Transit van, rocking it back and forth. A VPD showed up and yelled, "Hey! What if this were your car!?" And the mob moved on. I videoed a little and decided I had seen enough. I walked 6 blocks north to Waterfront station Skytrain and proceeded peacefully back home to Burnaby. I was 50 at the time and was in no mood to get caught up in the mob mentality. Funny. I remember it was 2-0?? after one period and the 20somethings were like, "Ya we got this! We're coming back strong in the next period!" Me internally : it's OVER. Anyways, that was my experience on the front lines. Personally, I blame a neighboring city outside of Vancouver for most of the chaos. I'll bet I don't even have to mention which city it was to people living in the GVRD. That says something I think.
Burning cop cars, hundreds of arrests, dozens of businesses with their front windows smashed, many department stores like The Bay and Futureshop looted. Yup, that counts as a riot.

Embarrassing that no Canadian TV company wanted to fund this. Good work by Kat and her team, looking forward to watching this.
It was a bad documentary that's why lol
She’s a pretty good filmmaker she humanized and made me rethink someone I’d hated with a fucking passion…Steve Francis
Is TSN ever going to air this or is it just going to keep doing the Film Festival routine?
if the documentary is 90% a breakdown of the series and the last 10 minutes of the riots, i will watch it.

I wonder if there was social media in 94 if it would have been looked at the same as 2011 .
VANCOUVER WANTS NBA 🏀

Let's just forget the Bruins had more penalty minutes and outscored Vancouver 23-8!

what this an actual riot? or just a bunch of drunk people?
Wasnt there but seen videos of it, looks like drunk people and people who aren't actual Canucks fans just people who want ti start something
yes and yes

There were definitely people who went downtown intending to start something.
