Summary

12 years ago, the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals to the Boston Bruins, in Vancouver. Canucks fans didn’t exactly hide their frustrations, as a riot engulfed the city. Now, more than a decade later, arguably the most enduring image of that night was a photo of a couple, kissing on the ground, surrounded by police in riot gear. In an encore fit for Valentine’s Day…and of one of our favorite episodes…Greg Wyshynski caught up with the couple, and the photographer, and joins the show to share how that iconic image endures to this day.
