The riot after a win makes no sense.
When you guys went nuts the night James Hetfield got torched and Axl stormed off the stage in 92? Yeah, go ahead and riot. But a victory calls for peaceful celebration and joyousness, not flaming cop cars and looting.
No looting or riots when the Red Sox won the world series last year, just lots of drinking and vomiting, like good Americans are like to do.
To be fair, when there's a riot, most of it is caused by people who take advantage of the presence of enormous crowd to cause trouble. People that don't give a damn about the Habs.
