BBC News too.
Surely this goes beyond being sore losers for losing a hockey game, albeit the most prestigious in the game?
Vandalism for the sake of it, a foretaste of things to come everywhere?

I recall the reaction to England losing to Germany in the 1990 Euro footie thingy. People rolling BMWs and Mercs just because they were german cars. Not really an over-reaction though I guess, because it was us doing it. |

I recall a very different evening where in the pub we watched the game at there was an air of celebration that we'd made it to a semi-final. We had a great trouble free evening that night, even when we went into town later - it was very much a party atmosphere. |

Well I guess it ws different everywhere but it did happen. I am sure there are people in Canada who didn't feel the need to riot either.
All I am saying is that people obviously take sport very seriously, and I am not really seeing the difference between what is happening there and what used to happen in the bad old days of football hooliganism in this country. |

yep,
and also if i recall correctly a guy from Russia? kicked about the head by some English 'fans' cos they thought he was German.
It may have been Heywards Heath, certainly in the SE.
The guy never regained consiousness |
