lol the turn away from the bar was a joke. It was on the news here and he said he only put the sign up because his rival bar down the street put up 'Canucks fans welcome', so he put up something like 'Bruins fans only' or something.
Two sides to every story, and I bet the same goes for the fans swarmed. Of course there are thugs everywhere who start shit because they're retarded, but for the most part it's hardly the horror story described.
Getting heckled wearing the opposing jersey in a passionate city during the Stanley Cup Finals is going to happen whether in Boston, Vancouver, or any other city outside of say Tampa Bay since their fan base is sleeping by 8:00pm. It's hardly newsworthy, but some bored writers ran with it to work up the fan base even more than they already were.
Vancouver fans jumped in to act like their shit doesn't stink and they'd never stoop that low yet riot days later when they lose. I'm sure 99% of real Vancouver fans are not like the idiots who caused the riot, but neither are 99% of Bruins fans.
It's the loud 1% that cause people to go to message boards using blanket statements like "Boston is full of class"
