From the wire this morning.....Idiots in Montreal. Some of the reports I've read indicate that the idiots weren't hockey fans. I sure hope not. .

MONTREAL - Montreal's downtown was shrouded in smoke early Tuesday morning as vandals sprinted to one police car after another setting them aflame.
At least five police cars were torched and many others were vandalized long after the bulk of a massive crowd had dispersed after celebrating a Canadiens playoff series victory over the Boston Bruins.
While the initial celebration was relatively peaceful, small groups milled on several street corners even as riot police surrounded burning vehicles and firefighters doused flames.
Television helicopter footage showed one instance where a pair of vandals lit the interior of a damaged, abandoned police car while a third person recorded the act with his cellular telephone.
Police spokeswoman Const. Anie Lemieux said the incidents seemed to be isolated. She could not confirm the number of arrests but several men were taken away in handcuffs, including two who pounded a car with cement blocks. Stores were also damaged.
`Police officers are still on the scene trying to control these people,' Lemieux said just after midnight in Montreal.(The Canadian Press)
