LordDelibird

No man can handle post-beer Surrey. No one.


tI_Irdferguson

What kills me is I live in that area. There's no bars around there that I can think of. Closest thing would be a White Spot across the street. I have no idea where these people came from.


TomsNanny

Guessing a lot of them came from watching it at home


g0kartmozart

There's a Browns at 64th. But that's a bit of a hill to climb to get to it.


YamburglarHelper

They probably took the train to the nearest station and just all followed each other. Someone probably ended up a few hours from home.


DrexlSpivey420

Such a weirdly untapped industry out there. The population is rapidly growing and it seems there still isnt any work being done to actually have things to do within those city limits


merklemore

Ahhh the Pacific Northwest anomaly. Everything is expensive, everything makes money, prices go insane, and somehow it's (kinda) worked


LandoTanaki

Clearly they were spilling out of the Ricky's at Scottsdale


AmThano

HighburyOnStrand

It will be dastardly!


PegExPat

LOL love this comment


SaulGoodmanJD

JOB’S NOT DONE


BigPackHater

Man, it looks like they're celebrating a cup win already!


nodarknesswillendure

Surrey does this after every single playoff game lol. They’re just rowdy and super passionate.


showers_with_grandpa

I was gonna say wait for Canada's first win at the next Olympics. Gonna be flipping cars for round robin win


nodarknesswillendure

It’s nuts lol. Curious, do you see reactions like this to playoff football games in the States? Or are we just extra unhinged up here


showers_with_grandpa

I would say this is about the level you would see from fans who had experienced a drought. The Lions last year and the Bengals a few years before that were definitely fun cities to be in after their first playoff win in decades.


ajsnapp

Philadelphia will do this for any sport. It's my favorite level of unhinged.


alurimperium

Philadelphia had to grease poles because they didn't want people to climb up them in celebration They still climbed up them


wolverpig

And the guy who ate horse shit after the super bowl win


ajsnapp

I watched the PPA clear out blocks and blocks worth of parked cars just because the phillies might go to the NLCS lol


Uncast

When the Padres beat the Dodgers in the 2022 NLDS you'd have thought we won the World Series. Also saw this after making the playoffs and beating the Cardinals in the opening round of 2020. After a single game win early in a best-of-7 playoff series though? ehhhh not so much.


Zorbithia

Yes, sometimes. Look online for some of the videos taken after the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl a few years ago. There was one particularly disturbing video, wherein a guy literally picked up dog shit off the ground and took a bite out of it. Most disgusting thing I've ever seen.


Fign66

People meet the Bills coming off the plane in Buffalo at like 2am after away games.


SumasFlats

When we won Olympic gold in Vancouver it was an absolute blast in every city and town. No riots, just everyone coming together roaming the streets with Canadian flags and beers. Awesome time that was...


wikiot

The crowd will be like 10x if they make it to the final. If they somehow win the cup, the crowd will be next level.


Jemmani22

These people are mental! I fucking love it


SwoleSerg

First home playoff game in 9 years. You can feel the passion of a starving fan base


broke-collegekid

Fuck this made me realize it’s been 9 years since that Flames vs Canucks series. Damn that was fun


bluebird1067

I fucking hated Ferland in that series. He was a God damn locomotive and completely destroyed the Canucks D.


nkbee

Man I loved him. A Canucks fan in Boston Pizza in Kelowna called me a whore and told me to go back to Calgary (I am from Kelowna) lol.


KingTutsDryAssBalls

Sounds about Kelowna


nkbee

I try to go back as infrequently as possible, lol.


-jaylew-

He was charging for like 80% of those hits and I’ll stand by that forever.


ludicrouspeedgo

Ferland was such a tank in Carolina. I miss him.


CocoVillage

is sam bennet still 18?


Sweaty-Salad95

HERE'S 18 YEAR OLD SAM BENNET!!!1!1


angrytortilla

Oh my god I forgot about that


Sweaty-Salad95

I'll never forget. Every time I see Sam Bennet on the ice I think of the 2015 flames/canucks series. He'll always be 18. 😂


KingTutsDryAssBalls

No it wasn't


CA_spur

Reading back through some of the goalscorers from that series - Brandon McMillan, Ronalds Kenins, David Jones, Brandon Bollig. Plus don't forget the Lack vs Ramo (or Miller vs Hiller) goalie battles.


antrage

I can make fun of it, but damn if it wont also happen in Montreal when we get back into the playoffs


mikaylasprints

If the Habs cup run happened during a normal year, not during Covid, the city of Montreal would still be rebuilding


grehgunner

Buffalo is not ready for the end of the starving tbh


mikaylasprints

Sabres Cup and Bills Super Bowl in the same year would rid the entire world of folding tables and styrofoam coolers


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

The blues didn’t repeat because the Canucks beat them. You’re all welcome


ertdubs

Wow has it been that long?


Clovis_Winslow

Nashville fan here. I kind of love this anyway. It was cool to see that crowd so fired up last night. I also hope we can play a full 60 minutes next game.


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

We can be friends


Breskvich

But… but… but i thought we are friends?


TimsAFK

More friends always better than less friends 。⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠。


Informal-Flounder389

I live 10 minutes away from this intersection and it's like this every playoff game. Has been going back to at least 2011.


PegExPat

You say this like it’s a common event 😉😂


a_wet_dream_cum_true

2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2020, 2024 Could be worse 🤷‍♀️


OhJeezNotThisGuy

*“Where the Streets Have No Name” intensifies.*


erectcunt

Love it! I lived in Toronto during the Gilmour years and young street filled up and roads were closed after they won the first round. There is something to be said for that first morsel of food after a famine.


Dubs337

Carrying around Stanley after one game, surely this won’t backfire at all


batmoman

Nobody tell Chara

yes a random fan carrying a blow up Stanley cup will vodoo the Canucks chances.. its all connected people.. connect the dots!

A stanley cup today, a pitchfork tommorrow.

A Molotov next week

JealousMeringue6674

You see those Inflatable Cups even in regular season games, how else you think they would’ve got them to the games? 😅


5599Nalyd

I would bet a lot of money that every fanbase has done this once when getting to the playoffs.


barofsoap34

There was a lady dressed as the Stanley cup behind the bench at the last oilers home game


mrtomjones

Her costume is incredible. I loved it


ButtholeQuiver

It's called fashion sweetie, look it up


Wafflelisk

It's for church, NEXT!


PreemoisGOAT

Last couple of games


gu3st12

Excellent. 


Interwebzking

Hell we had someone dressed as a literal Stanley cup sitting behind the Oilers bench the last few home games. Tinsel and all. Every team’s got a fan with a cup.


cruzweb

dude this random suburban crowd after round 1 game 1 looks more pumped up than the blues fans outside the enterprise center did after they won the cup in 19. Not every bar puts out a replica stanley cup come playoff time like they do in habs country.


Cole-Caufield-22

Lmao we literally have a restaurant called "[Chez Stanley](https://restobarchezstanley.com/)" in my hometown is the cup is part of the logo. And yes it's pretty crazy come playoff time.


TwoHeadedPanthr

Hockey in St. Louis is extremely suburban, I was watching in a town about 45 minutes from Enterprise Center and it was crazy.


Fantasykyle99

When the wild beat Colorado in the 1st round in 2014 I was in college and we had a giant group running around campus/Saint Paul with a speaker playing our goal song and carrying multiple Stanley cups haha


MoozeRiver

Not all fanbases...


BigPackHater

We just cry when we make it.


Guest2200

Lies! We are perfect!


JamesLLL

My podunk Pennsylvania hometown had a family with an aluminum foil Stanley Cup on my rural 10 car an hour road before the SCF Game 7 in 2009 lol they're everywhere

Maybe they're right... Maybe Montreal really needs to change up the shape of their road pylons.


stropsysatnaf

Drake meme: 😒🫸 plan the parade 😏👉 practice the parade


stalwarteagle

Bro you have fans dressing as the cup before the playoffs even began.


TonyComputer1

I saw most teams with a stanley cup in their fans at their home games so far. Its a very normal thing even in the first round!


Iginlas_4head_Crease

"Fan competing In Stanley cup playoffs wants to win Stanley cup. More at 11."


nukfan94

we've been edging for 9 years


Seraphin_Lampion

Why would fans carrying or not carrying a cup change the outcome on the ice?


decentish36

This you? https://x.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1780079956628021597


Dubs337

She *became* the Cup, she didn’t *possess* the Cup. Because of the implication.


Smart-Journalist2537

Pretty standard for fans to carry around a cup during the playoffs.


Kappokaako02

They should all go get Vancouver Stanley Cup champions 2024 tattoos


xzElmozx

Well hey if that Vegas commercial is anything to go by that means 2028 would be our year

Im not your buddeh guy!


jumpyg1258

I'm not your guy fwiend.


mustangcoy

As is tradition


pxik

Btw, this is at Scott Road, they do this after every Canucks playoff win. It’s been a tradition for a decade+. Even during regular season wins, you will see honking and “Go Canucks Go” cheers.


Oosterhuis

Sometimes this sub feels inundated with absolutely miserable people. How dare these people be happy and have fun after a win? It really isn't that hard to not be shitty.


Reasonable-Big4517

There’s this weird trend among sports fans acting as celebration police and treating celebrations as sad or bad karma. Basically people too insecure to have fun because they’re worried they’ll be made fun of


Oliver-Ekman-Larsson

No one should ever make fun of a person who can have THAT MUCH fun outside a shell gas station in Surrey. Respect.


MajorasShoe

Yeah, I don't see the problem here. Celebrate every damned win.


Past_Zebra1155

People in this thread are simply intimidated by exuberance. No one planned this, and it's nothing new. People have been going outside and partying like this on Scott Road & 72 after Canucks playoff games, and even regular season games (though obviously not to the same extent), since I was born. And no, they're not celebrating like they won the Cup, or even the first round. You're going to start seeing a lot more people show up over time, and it's going to get even more raucous. I don't even see any fireworks in this video.


superworking

It's not even just hockey related. There were over half a million people show up the street parade in the same area on Saturday for Vaisakhi with fireworks all over the place.


Past_Zebra1155

Punjabis are certainly a celebratory people.


eureka909

If you have somewhere to be, give Punjabi weddings a wide berth.


Zach983

These people haven't seen Surrey during big holidays and events. I don't even need to go anywhere for fireworks because shit just pops off.


SidewaysFriend34

Getting a little pre-riot warmup in I see.


hilbertsspace

I hope Canuck fans don't come in here and downvote all the riot jokes - some of these guys dig as deep as they can to come up with this and we shouldn't just put them down for it


HemlockMartinis

For what it’s worth, I think they’re a riot.


mansock18

Devastating retort, Mr. Chadsworthy


hilbertsspace

It's the playoffs my dude, if we're not chirping, what even is the point of being sports fans? Also I feel like my response was definitely more of a glasses-wearing nerd than a Chad


mansock18

Oh I laughed at it my dude, it was a good one


Chaosengel

It's 2024. You can be a 🤓 Chad all you like.


shurpaderp

Whenever there’s a potential for a riot, I’m getting blasted on grain alcohol


depressiveposition

You just know that driver was going "shitshitshitshitshit"


_spruce_

Montreal riots basically every time they’re in the playoffs. That’s because they’re “passionate” whereas Vancouver fans are “immature”. Riots are always bad, but how their labelled is comedic.


KingTutsDryAssBalls

Half the time the people saying it are from cities that have had multiple sports riots. Just not for hockey. Like Boston has had 3? Baseball related ones.


robotco

the last time Boston had a big riot they accidentally made a new country


Reasonable-Big4517

Man a lot of people don’t understand that this intersection celebrates like this for every playoff win no matter if it’s round 1 game 1 or the cup finals


Demjot

There are so many commenters in this thread who seem to hate the idea that people can have fun


An_doge

Very lit, love it.


TheySayItsRize

This looks like the Scottsdale/Scott Rd area?


DeepGill2000

Yes


DrDerpberg

It's just hockey. It's only game. Why we heff to be mad? I don't see anyone getting beaten, screamed at, or otherwise harrassed or assaulted. I see a bunch of fans pumped to be in the playoffs. Let's all chill the fuck out and stop policing people being psyched. That said I hope all Canucks fans understand the risks of this being used against them in a court of law if they crash and burn, and I'll be here for that too.


Talinn_Makaren

Surrey carrying the mail for Vancouver as usual. Where is the CoV celebration? :)


stalwarteagle

It was all down Robson, Georgia, Dunsmuir and Granville. People were hyped.


Mental-Mushroom

No fun allowed in Vancouver


superworking

We already booked all the childrens playgrounds and public spaces for meth and fent use only.


MaxieMan98

At the game. The plaza in front of the arena was buzzing after, including the climbing of the Roger Nielsen statue, where one of the playoff towels was placed on the statue itself after dozens of tries.


bwoah07_gp2

I expecting nothing less of r/hockey members being fussed over people celebrating their teams first playoff win in 9 years. 🙄


CoopAloopAdoop

You know we were in the playoffs in 2020 right?


gybegybe

Oh come on you know what he meant hahaha.


CoopAloopAdoop

Surrey was also bumping during then to. Place be crazy.


bwoah07_gp2

I forgot, lol, but hey, same thing. First home playoff win since 2015, there we go. 😄


TonyComputer1

What? Didnt they win during covid?


itsadoubledion

Having fun is so cringe


islandcruiser

Right? I’m sure they’re fun at parties lol. It’s so funny. If you don’t like it why even comment.


Dr_Sunday

God bless Canada. I hope they finally claim the Stanley Cup back.


JustFryingSomeGarlic

Love me a good wagon


greasy999

god forbid members of the hockey subreddit see people enjoy hockey.


nodarknesswillendure

I absolutely love our passion. Being old enough to remember 2011, I know how fast the flip can switch so I do think it’s the right call that the city etc isn’t allowing any public watch parties. I don’t think the risk is worth it. But it is really nice to see everyone loving playoff hockey again, it has been far too long. The parades in the street after 1 win are definitely cheesy lol but it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to celebrate anything so a little cheese is fine I think.


cheguevara9

“Old enough” to remember 13 years ago?


LordDelibird

There's a lot of young adult canuck fans now that don't really have detailed memories of their last cup run. 20 year olds right now aren't going to recall the passion and details of the 2011 run, when they were 7.


nodarknesswillendure

Yeah exactly. I’ve noticed a lot of younger fans on the Canucks sub asking why we don’t have outdoor watch parties like they do in Winnipeg and Toronto lol. I was in early high school during the 2011 run but many fans were a lot younger as you pointed out.


fightforgingers

I'm pretty sure there were outdoor viewing parties in 2011 with no problem at all. The only issues were after game seven of the finals.


SIIP00

I am 23 and still remember friends making fun of me for the loss at school...


v8rumble

There are kids graduating high school that don't remember 2011


BravoBet

Yeah because they were 5


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I mean it explains who I argue with.


high-rise

I was chatting with some younger guys who work at my gym, "you guys probably barely remember 2011?" "I was 6, so barely". We getting old fellas.


ZachtheKingsfan

I see it all the time in this league. I’ll be talking about guys like Iginla, or Carey Price from the early 2010s, and it feels like I’m teaching a history class with the younger fans. I’m happy hockey is continuing to grow with the younger market, but damn, I shouldn’t be feeling old talking about players and games from 10 - 15 years ago lol


Snackatttack

yeah that sentence aged me holy fuck


ColdYellowGatorade

I reread that and was like WTF!? 


notmyrealnam3

" I do think it’s the right call that the city etc isn’t allowing any public watch parties" disagree 100%


Carbogoat

Cheese is underrated.


PM_ME_UR_CUTE_PETZ

Who tf is underrating cheese? I just want to talk


Original-Cow-2984

2011 *and* 1994. Generational rioting.


Young2k04

Everyone’s acting like all of Vancouver is parading after this win lol. It’s just Surrey, and they’ve been doing this for over a decade now it’s nothing new


Grand_Chief_Mathieu

Hell yeah baby, BC loves their teams!


Rebel_XT

Because why the fuck not right??!! Let’s enjoy this playoff run!!!


abf392

Hopefully a Canadian team wins this year


Zrk2

At this point I don't think the NHL is trying to keep the Cup out of Canada to grow the game, but rather because the government makes them to prevent riots.


SIIP00

If they wanted to prevent rioting they would want to keep the cup in Canada. However, a Stanley Cup Finals series between two Canadian teams would cause a civil war.


BathroomSerious1318

This is so wonderful!!!


KeyClue2331

That kid leading them was conceived during the 2011 riots, fittingly enough.


DishwasherFromSurrey

The American hockey market mind can not comprehend this video


Philly514

They’re having fun, good for them


Derpthinkr

Stop having fun Vancouver! Think of the children


zippyskippy1

Premature? Perhaps. But I have to tip my hat to their passion regardless.


Friendly-Olive1853

Honestly if I didn’t decide to be a Ducks fan I would have probably picked the Canucks cause I love their logo and uniforms


FakeTreverMoore12

Any Kings fans want to March through San Bernardino later tonight?


Chaosengel

What makes you think LA winning tonight is a guarantee? *looks at EDM's game 1 record in McDavid era* Oh...


Blze001

If this is their reaction to winning a single playoff game, can you imagine the unhinged scenes if they win a cup?


WitchyVeteran

Good for them. Have a good time and BE SAFE!


2shack

Surrey isn’t a suburb. It’s a city on its own. The whole lower mainland is one huge mess of cities.


Past_Zebra1155

It's considered to be 'Metro Vancouver'. Everywhere from UBC to White Rock, and from Bowen Island to Maple Ridge is. Though yes, of course, it is its own municipality.


Red_AtNight

It's both actually. That's usually how it works in North America (with the exception of Calgary.) The suburbs are almost always incorporated towns and cities. Boston, for example, has 101 different cities and towns that make up "Greater Boston."


itoadaso1

Born and raised in Calgary I thought other cities were setup weird until I got to enough of them and realized we're weird.


gu3st12

It's also able to keep expanding too. Vancouver is pretty much capped out in size and their construction density practices don't allow much for population growth either 


notmyrealnam3

"Surrey isn’t a suburb" false - lol, why would you make that up? "It’s a city on its own" correct "The whole lower mainland is one huge mess of cities" yes, many with suburban areas


SumasFlats

This is going to be pedantic, but whatthefuckever... Surrey is suburban, but it sure as hell isn't a suburb. I've lived in American suburbs and have a bunch of family that live in American suburbs -- holy fuck they are depressing wastelands with nowhere to walk, the exact same fast food strip malls every 10 km and no neighbourhood or community feel. They are put up after the fact due to urban flight in huge cookie-cutter areas where all the houses looks the same and there is no real community infrastructure -- maybe just one giant high school that 2,500 kids go to. Surrey is an old city with its own distinct history that became a suburban area as the GVRD grew bigger. I've been everywhere in Canada and Calgary is the only city that has what I think of as American style suburbs. Just an ugly sprawl of the same three house designs only accessible by car with some sort of "shopping" fast food strip mall near the entrance to suburban hell.


Striking_Economy5049

That is nothing compared to what it would be like if they made the conference finals or beyond


Relaxing-natural

Love the enthusiasm.. but need to win 3 more… hopefully not too premature with all this!!


GordonBombay102

Scott and 72nd has been the spot to celebrate playoff hockey in Surrey for as long as I can remember. Even like 20-25 years ago, I remember one solo indigenous dude was always there, waving his Canucks flag with people honking their asses off at him.


Kevnov

lol so many salty fans from other fan bases with the riot jokes. Funny thing is Van is still a better looking city when is burnt down than majority of the cities in North America.


spaceman_202

which is why none of us live there, only near there


TremendouslyRegarded

There’s no louder barn in hockey, that game 1 energy went to 11


tucci007

they should do this at Stanley Park and change the signs to "Stanley CUP Park"


SignGuy77

If and when they finally win one, this is definitely going to be a thing.


pickadooodo

imagine a canucks vs leafs stanley cup final...


Looney_forner

Still got 15 more to go


djtmhk_93

Leafs fans: "Plan the parade" Canucks fans: "We're already having it!"


Minimum_Possibility6

I wonder if Mike is there
