Nope, there's no way I'm bringing expensive equipment down if we win the cup...i'm definately thinking there will be some rioting goin on, weather we win the cup in game 6 or 7 or lose the cup in game 7...fans have slowly been getting more and more out of hand each game...we'll probably go down to 17th though, so we'll be your body guards if we see you down there!

I doubt I'll be down there with my gear, I was down there for the Sharks Elimination, and it was brutal!!! Not only did I get trampled and battered, my gear almost got swiped and I got both myself and my camera spat on by drunk fuckers thinking they're having a blast! I hate drunks so damn bad, the kind that have no care or regard for anything and get all rowdy and violent. I think if I went through that again, I'd kill somene, and I'm dead serious. I cannot stant drunk dumb fucks! I hope they get hit by a speeding abrams tank.

HAHAHHA

I dunno how people can get so weird when they're drunk, I just get really happy and generous.

Anyway, I'll be down there with my little camera

[Gonthro]

you guys should find someone with a 2nd or 3rd floor balcony and park there

sorry, family gathering in Radium. My sentiments reflect Ben's comments... it isn't worth it. They were saying 50,000 people were there last night... the night Ben was talking about was less than 20,000

true that man, wtf is with drunks thinkin they can do whatever the fuck they want. my buddy was down there one nite and he said he saw an escalade parked on the side and people were jumping and crawling all over it. like fuck at least show some respect. whats wrong with standing on the street?

if that was my escalade and i saw peeps jumping all over it id just walk away and report it stolen the next morning lol police call later "it was found on 17th! all smashed to shit" id be like "ah dayum!!!"

the owner was shoving people and stuff, thats why he got it so bad, the grand am behind him didn't have any damage. not saying its right to damage someones car, but he made 2 big mistakes...
1. parked on 17th
2. started shoving everyone around his truck and then tried running people over.

hell, i was 5 feet away from his truck and he still shoved me

[tulit]

I agree with everyone one. BADDD idea, especially tommorow.

I was down last night (and every other night we've won so far), and its slowly getting worse and worse. I saw a couple of fights almost start, and the crowds were pushing like crazy yesterday. Almost fell over a couple of times.

So unless you have full insurance protection on your camera, or have somewhere safe to do it from (i.e. a roof), probably a really bad idea.


Stuff's going to get trashed FOR SURE tommorow if they win...
