HS present|“It had to be an Oilers fan,” locals suspect after laughing statues of Vancouver Canucks jerseys were burned in Morton Park.
Vancouver
Where the shirts are?
Residents of Vancouver, Canada were in for a nasty surprise this week when a potential arsonist attacked the beloved symbol of the playoffs of the NHL hockey team Vancouver Canucks.
It’s an artist Yue Minjun’s A-Maze-In Laughter -statue work, whose laughing statues were dressed in the jerseys of the hockey city’s own team. Even in other ways, you can always see people taking tourist pictures next to a beloved work.
Locals came to Morton Park with new enthusiasm to admire the work, when the anonymous Superfanz duo put Vancouver Canucks shirts on the big statues in the silence of the night at the beginning of May.
Previously, the duo had worn matching shirts for the lions on the Lion’s Gate bridge.
The Superfanz duo have done the shirt pulling without the permission of the authorities, but no one was upset about it.
So also the police spokesman Steve Addison called the appearance of the shirts on the statues as a “fun fan experience”.
Some of the statues had already been stripped of the burnt Vancouver Canucks jerseys after May 15. Now all the shirts have been removed and the statues have been cleaned of soot and melted Textile parts.
With the police there is another sound on the clock now that they tried to burn the giant shirts of the laughing statues.
The charge may come from arson and, for example, theft, if the perpetrators are caught, the authorities point out.
That same night, Vancouver saw twice the normal number of fires, from two car fires to several trash cans set on fire.
The possible connection between the fires and the arson on the shirts of the statues is unknown.
The artwork itself suffered some damage from the arson attempt. On Friday, however, the rags from the shirts had already been removed and the statues cleaned of soot and the remains of the melted Textile.
An Edmonton Oilers fan got a thumbs-down after realizing someone had damaged sculptures on Vancouver Canucks jerseys on May 15.
“Its had to be a fan of the Edmonton Oilers”, said the person sitting by the statues Ken to a Finnish journalist on Friday.
The Vancouver Canucks are currently taking on the Edmonton Oilers in the second round of the NHL playoffs.
Ken doesn’t want to tell his last name, and the person sitting next to him comes to the same decision Lucywho has his own theory.
“It must be drunken parties. Paidathan could have smoked one hundred percent if he wanted to. Now the company is halfway there.”
JT Miller’s goal guaranteed victory for the Vancouver Canucks on Friday morning Finnish time. The Canucks now lead the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in the playoffs
The fans got something nicer to think about when the Vancouver Canucks, thought to be the underdogs, knocked out the Edmonton Oilers, who entered the playoff round as early favorites, in their home hall at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Friday morning Finnish time.
Canucs shirts were seen on fans by the thousands and the excitement reached its peak when the Canucks star JT Miller scored the decisive 3–2 winning goal in the last minute of the match.
“It¨’s Miller Time! Its’ Miller Time!”, Byron and Meghan sweated in their Canucks shirts right after the game was over. They didn’t want to give their last names either.
“It’s always great when it’s Canada against Canada in the playoffs,” Byron mused.
At the same time, the Canucks took a 3–2 lead in the playoffs. Four wins are enough to advance, so the Edmonton Oilers are now playing in a forced situation.
The next game is in Edmonton and will be decided on Sunday morning Finnish time.
The winner of the match series gets to fight in the finals of the Western Conference, i.e. the semi-finals of the NHL league.
The two semi-final teams are already known. They are the Eastern Conference’s Florida Panthers and New York Rangers.
