Today’s letter goes out to every Vancouver Canucks fan that held their heads high Matt Lockhart (@Treelines) for planking the riots after being defeated on home ice in game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. We’ll get ’em next year.
![06-16-11 Disappointed Fan Dear Disappointed Fans, As the first goal was scored in the first period, I heard you and the entire provice gasp as if a knife had just been plunged into your heart. As time wore on and the minutes dwindled to the final horn I could see the disappointment in your forlorn face. What I didn't see was anger or destruction. It appears as though there will always be those idiots who take things too far but you are not one of them. Don't let the disgrace of other tear down your ability to be gracious. Although the loss was difficult and a long time coming, keep your head held high. Continue to support, cheer and fight for your team. Show the world that you know how to go down in defeat with dignity. You have a lot to be proud of by propelling your team to the Stanley Cup Finals. Some take the easy way out and create a path of destruction for destruction's sake. It far more difficult to look your opponent in the eye and say, "Well played, good sir. Next time you won't be so lucky." -Dave](http://www.thedailyletter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/06-16-11-Disappointed-Fan-500x648.png)

I’m not into sports at all, but I was excited for this game, even though I didn’t get to watch it. Even though I don’t get how people can be so emotionally (or drunkenly) invested in something like this, I feel a little sick to my stomach over the loss… enough to destroy a city? No. But sad? Yes. Failure is never fun. Stupidity is worse though. You said it well Dave, sounds like there were a few morons and a lot of just really disappointed fans.
