The caption above the photo identifies one of the culprits as being from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
We were all wondering when you'd come out of the closet and now the time has finally arrived. That fresh air must feel great!
I guess none of you have ever heard of Soccer fans, have you? Soccer riots make whatever happens here look like a country picnic by comparison. By the way...I used the term 'soccer' instead of the proper term, football, so that you 'knowledgeable sports fans' wouldn't get confused. 
Hello SK,
I think you are selling Philadelphia fans short.
They are the worst in sports...any sports... twice as obnoxious and half as educated as Yankee fans.
Yankee fans are then second.
Have fun,
Jman
PS Don't you just love when they put RED in a Yankee cap?! There is no damn RED in the Yankee uniform...

Hello all,
Oh come on Techman. Surely you know comparisons about which type of fans are worse are off the point. It's just awful that these riots happen, and some of the hooligans are real fans, unfortunately.
So, are you saying that in a sport where many of the fans enjoy the fights, and where many encourage retaliation, that these sorts are 100% above public disturbances or riots??? Not that hockey fans are alone in that by far, since some fans during or after championship games seem to excuse vandalism at this time as a right...but c'mon GHG, let's be real. Or did you just put the Montreal hockey riots of 2008 when the Canadiens hosted the Bruins out of your mind. Montreal Canadiens Hockey Riots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJLGMMBuzhQ We know the thug and thieves element will use the huge crowds as a cover opportunity, but there are also like fans there at any time.
As I said, the point is it's a sad situation.
Quite possibly true. I've seen long documentaries practically proving this, and the fans there seem to be quite proud of it; though English football/soccer fans would give them a run and have a horrendous reputation worldwide to the point of being banned from tournaments in some years.

Not only did the Bruins blow a 3-0 lead in the series, they blew a 3-0 lead in game 7 too! History repeated itself in the form of a too many men on the ice penalty which led to the Flyers' winning goal. Amazing comeback for the Flyers, I can't wait for Sunday!!!
Hello All,
Well the Bruins of Boston now share a dubious distinction with the Yankees of New York.
Both managed to find a way to CHOKE in a 7 game playoff series after leading 3 - 0.
Now we will see some OBNOXIOUS fans...'cause here come the Flyers.
GO HABS GO!!!
Have fun,

Utterly disgusting display by the Bruins, completely inexcusable! Off with Julien's head!! Lol.
Those are not real Habs fans (who celebrate peacefully)
Montreal police assistant director Denis Desroches said it is a fact that true fans do not wreak havoc.

Gainey's reno builds contender
Former Canadiens head coach Jacques Demers, a popular, gentlemanly Canadiens analyst for RDS and the last man to guide the team to a Stanley Cup, believes Gainey deserves more praise than he's received.
"Bob is the architect of this team," he said
Gainey imported free-agent forwards Brian Gionta, Michael Cammalleri and Travis Moen, leaders and snipers and, in Moen's case, a sledgehammer on blades. He signed defencemen Jaroslav Spacek, a wily, experienced veteran, and Paul Mara, a hard worker whose season ended prematurely - or has it? - with shoulder surgery.
And Gainey signed rearguard Hal Gill, a Stanley Cup winner last spring with Pittsburgh who this playoff season has been a formidable presence on the blue line as a shot-blocker, penalty-killing ace and strong leader on and off the ice.

I recall the two village idiots on this board ridiculing Bob's signings ...

Hello GHG,
You mean you don't see how this is a public relations statement and a desperate plea to the public to deal with the insanity?
You're very funny. Of course I know you meant they aren't destructive vandals, but the words "celebration" and "peaceful" do not go together after a playoff victory in any sport. Such celebrations are extremely loud and rowdy by nature, even if not destructive.
However, you are dreaming if you don't think every teams fans in any sports doesn't have thugs and thieves among them. Trying to make it sound like all real sports fans are sweet little angels just looks extremely badly misguided and uninformed. But who cares anyway. Have fun. Just don't deceive yourself.
Yup! Both unable to hold a 3-0 game lead in the series and a 3-0 lead in game 7 is total incompetence. Someone's head should roll. Sorry how it turned out SK. I'm glad I'm not nearly as into this as you.
It's a close call. But the Yankees didn't lose an important player or any player during the 2004 ALCS series, and they did basically get beaten by a gimp with a miracle in his sock. Edge for the most embarrassing choke...Yankees.
Cheers,
Merlot

Gainey's signings nearly missed the playoffs. His 'signings' had to earn a point in overtime in a game they last against The Toronto Maple Leafs in order to SQUEAK into 8th place. Gainey would have traded Halak if he wasn't FIRED. Now who's the IDIOT??
What planet do you live on? You should stop posting about hockey. You're looking more & more ridiculous everytime you post something.
I guess none of you have ever heard of Soccer fans, have you? Soccer riots make whatever happens here look like a country picnic by comparison. By the way...I used the term 'soccer' instead of the proper term, football, so that you 'knowledgeable sports fans' wouldn't get confused.
I'll re-phrase what i said previously. The worse fans in hockey belong to the Habs. The Habs fans are among the worse fans in North American professional sports, along with the Yankees fans & the fans from Philadelphia (every sport). There!
I totally agree with you. Finally a Habs fan that makes a bit of sense & who doesn't live in a bubble.
