Vancouver police use batons and pepper spray to deter a rioting hockey fan on Homer Street after game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals between the Canucks and the Boston Bruins in Vancouver, BC Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The man was among hundreds of people who, in the first 15 minutes of mayhem that overtook thousands of hockey fans, were charging police lines and throwing debris at the officers outside the downtown post office.
