I'm really interested in hearing the canucks injury report tomorrow. The team that played this finals series wasn't the same team that played all year. We got killed 4 in all our losses and the ones we did win, we barely squeeked by with a lucky goal.
On a side note, I am utterly disappointed in the police. Spent so much effort catching people going 20km/h over and no effort stopping this riot? They should well know that a riot is a 50/50 tonight and should have all police forces ready.
Both these constraints should affect the probability of riots occurring and their duration and severity if they do occur. Traditional deterrence theory teaches that in order to discourage crime at the margin, one or both of two things have to happen: either the probability of catching the offender has to be visibly increased, or the harshness of the consequences to the offender in case he is caught have to be tangibly enhanced. In the case of riots especially, there is not much that police forces can do about either option.
It is hard to imagine that the public would be willing to staff the police department at levels sufficient to deal with a riot immediately if one should break out: it costs a city's budget about $60,000 or more to add just one additional officer to the force. Nor will there ever be enough prosecutors to try every rioter that could be arrested, nor enough prisons to house them if convicted. Every rioter understands these practical constraints very well. They spell practical legal immunity so long as a riot continues.
If the police try to cover most of the serious action nodes that develop, they will be spread too thin to do much good anywhere. If they abandon some action nodes to concentrate on a few, the trouble can be stopped at the selected locations, but the procedure is like nailing Jell-o to the wall. The riot simply flows around the impediment and goes to locations the police have not covered. Until the National Guard arrives, quadrupling or quintupling available manpower and increasing the apparent risk of arrest, matters simply run out of control.
Of course authorities prepared to resort to brutality can terminate riots promptly. Buford gives the example of how the Sardinian police militia smothered a soccer riot during the 1990 World Cup matches. Hundreds of rowdy English soccer fans had flown in on chartered planes, and were determined to find trouble. The police did not try to cover every action node at once; this would have left them outnumbered everywhere. Instead, following textbook military strategy, they massed forces and surrounded first one, then another group of hooligans inglisi, rendering each in turn hors de combat by beating them senseless with truncheons. Few of the Englishmen actually had to be arrested (which would have been very time-consuming for the police). Nevertheless, because they were not allowed to innocently transpire through police lines to re-appear at some less well-defended action node, the riot soon collapsed.
There's a reason that the police aren't stepping in. Damnit. Comparing the situation to catching speeders.

Injuries pile up on both side when you go deep. To me it just seemed like Boston played the game more.
Canucks made it evident at a point in the series where they will only play whistle to whistle and try not to get baited in.
Boston however played everything else over than the game itself. Scrumming in between whistles, taunting during warm ups (shooting pucks at our team), dousing their rink water on our rink.
Whatever they could add to their on ice game, however minute, they did. I mean c'mon, their goalie was overplaying his role and actually bodychecking our forwards.... Their rookie was using our Art Ross Winners as punching bags....
I mean, I don't agree with that part of the game but the Boston chose to play it, and Canucks chose not to. At the end of the day, they won and that very little bit could've added just enough to edge out our invidual award winning players....

I think the strategy by the police is to give time for decent people to leave. Those who insist on staying will get what they deserve. I hope those who get arrested are nailed to the cross.
