We aren't the biggest savages in Canada!
At least if you measure savageness by the reaction people have to the success of their hockey team. The Globe reports that Canadiens fans celebrated their team's 7th-game victory over the Bruins in the first round of the playoffs by rioting and torching a few police cars.
Jesus! It took us until the third round to start with the public burnings.
Update: This CBC article includes a picture of a torched cruiser.
According to one individual who lives in the vacinity of these torchings. The hoologans were using pistols to try and "shoot out the gas tanks" on the cruisers. It's not like Habs fans are starved for the cup, Montreal won the cup in '93. I can only imagine the mayham that would ensue the unlikely event of a Maple Leafs series victory...fortunatly i don't see that happening any time in the near future.
