A rioter wearing a Canucks jersey cheers while a car burns, surrounded by a large crowd.

... that the 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot (rioter pictured), which took place after the Bruins beat the Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals, was the second time a riot broke out in Vancouver after a Stanley Cup loss? Source: "The scenes of hooliganism and destruction in Vancouver after the Canucks' loss to the Boston Bruins in the seventh game of the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday are a case of deja vu for those who remember June 14, 1994. That was the night riots broke out after Vancouver's Stanley Cup defeat to the New York Rangers." [1]

Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

article is recently promoted to GA, long enough and within policy. Hook is short enough and interesting. QPQ not required as they have less than 5 noms. Photo appears appropriately licensed and sourced. Earwig popped up some high percentages, but mostly due to quoting and similar section titles. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did people actually die? I see nothing online about this

I’ve been looking for a source about anything where anyone died, and I don’t see anything. Is this actually true? 108.26.140.126 (talk) 20:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
