USA vs Canada - Vancouver 2010 Winter Games Day 10, Street hockey the spirit of Canucks

A ride to see what the mood was like after Canada's 5-3 loss (1st in 50 years to USA in games), all was truly Canadian and not so much the sexed up beer ad crap. Peaceful best I heard but there has been many street partier arrests and 2 stabbings in the core where the streets are an open plaza/shopping mall basically. Stores outside the certain blocks like even Gastown have been cut off with warnings to tourist to stay within the secure zone. Lucky or planned if your a storefront in the exclusive area but the rest of city was quiet Friday and Sat. night at 1am, no revellers out from watching TV. I have never seen such a closed off event in my life and those complaining about the police state may be just mistaking the VANOC IOC store security. This is hurting Vancouver small business and they will be voicing their opinions after these 7+ billion on the deck games.... - source : youtube.com video clip
