Surprise fireworks in Vancouver - cruel timing after Canucks loss (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)
Someone is trolling Canucks fans.
Moments after the final buzzer went off in tonight’s game, the explosions in the sky began at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Even the Olympic Cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza was lit.

After taking a 3-0 lead in the first period, Canucks dropped Game 6 by a score of 7-4, losing the series 4-2.
Talk about bad timing and rubbing some salt in the wound, but it was for a conference held at the convention centre.

@IAmByks These are fireworks in Vancouver seconds after they were eliminated. Is this a psyche-out tactic? #wtf pic.twitter.com/2ukOqETsrG
