A Riot of a Game
It seems that Montrealers decided that the best way to celebrate the first round victory of the Habs was through some good old fashioned rioting and roasting of marshmallows over burning police cars.
What is this, England? When I was living in London I got used to the fact that during any major football competition the fans would celebrate a win with a hearty riot. (On the other hand, they were equally quick to mourn a loss with a hearty riot). But it's not something you see everyday in "friendly" Canada.
Of course I do sometimes wonder what would happen if the Leafs won the Stanley Cup. After more than 40 years without a championship I picture the city celebrating by coming together to push over the CN Tower.

I could get behind pushing over the CN tower if the leafs win the cup.
This is what I love about Quebecers they can always feel so passionately about things.
