Don't be knuckleheads, Ed Davis tells fans getting ready to throng the Garden tonight.

I ask that you celebrate a win or loss with the pride and class that our team and our city deserves.

Davis has a special word for any college students left in town: Act up, and your school will have a word with you.

Vancouver crime among worst in North America

By anon on Fri, 06/07/2013 - 7:29pm.

They are talking about property crimes, which is high because of all the homeless and junkies in Vancouver. The number pick pockets, car break-ins, etc. are high. When it comes to violent crime, the city is like Disneyland. 10 murders in 2010 and 15 in 2011...which is absolutely nothing compared to most U.S. Cities of a comparable size. It's a very safe city.

is a dump that the hipsters love to trash.

Vancouver and the lower mainland

Metro Vancouver homicides
The Vancouver Sun's full list of all murders committed in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley in 2013

Pretty impressive. I'm quite sure Disney World or Disneyland doesn't have that many murders.

Vancouver and the lower mainland has a major gang problem; 'ethnic' and biker.

That is Metropolitan Vancouver, not Vancouver. That's like comparing the homicides out of 20,000,000 in metro NYC, to the homicides out of the 8,000,000 people in NYC. Not the same thing. Even still, it is hovering around 35 murders a year, which is extremely low.

Vancouver had 10 and 15 homicides over the past two years, and is incredibly safe. It's actually one of the safer Canadian cities. Edmonton and Winnipeg are generally the most "dangerous" cities, and they are pretty tame too.

Where's the TPF when you need them ?

...to hearing about Garden and Bruins representatives having to answer questions from the Boston Licensing Board about the behavior of their customers.

Ha!

THIS WILL GO DOWN ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD.

no more fun of any kind!

is better, we need more bars and establishments that serve alcohol so these drunks don't have to take to the streets to celebrate.
Why do we have limits on the amount of liquor licenses in the City?

and the Info Age: when you do shit now, and get arrested, just arrested not even talking about news reports, blogs with your name,twitter, etc, you actually can relive the moment forever. Anyone doing a background check will discover past issues. Especially if you have a less than common name.

This is our fucking city.

By anon on Fri, 06/07/2013 - 9:11pm.

If your cops can stand around in intersections ticketing cyclists for running red lights, than I expect you to do a whole lot more than just refer someone to their school for a knuckle-rapping. I expect you to throw them in jail and charge them with the crimes they've committed.

So.
Sick.
And.
Tired.
Of.
Sports.
Fans.
Shitting.
On.
My.
City.

I don't think he's got much to worry about.
