It’s hard to find a hockey player who will turn down a drink… try 22 of them. But when Ryan Reynolds sent a round of shots to the Boston Bruins, they refused. It didn’t help that Reynolds defended his hometown Vancouver Canucks to the Bruins earlier in the night.

And in good reason, the Canucks lost to the Bruins in a tough 7 game series. After the harsh exchange of words, the Canadian actor tried to make amends, but the Bruins gave the tequila shots to a Bachelorette party at a nearby table.

At least Reynolds gave it his best shot…

The mystery has been solved! The Vancouver Riot kissing couple have been idenfitied as Scott Jones and Alex Thomas. According to the boy’s mother Megan Jones said, “It is something he would do, that’s our boy. He has always lived in his own world, he’s special like that. He doesn’t always connect with what going on around him.”

Jones, who is 29 and a standout comedian, moved to Vancouver six months ago and began dating Thomas shortly after. Writting on his Facebook, Jones said, “Classic! This was shortly after the riot police run over the top of us and naturally Alex needed some comforting.”

Despite people saying the picture was staged, the couple insist they were caught up in the moment, and it has now become one of the most famous makeout scenes of all time…. move over VJ Day in Times Square couple!

The Vancouver Canucks Green Men have gained quite a following. The dedicated fans sit next to the penalty box and taunt the opposing team. During last night’s Canucks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game, the Green Men took advantage of the odd behavior Leafs fans displayed last week when they threw waffles at the players after they lost a game. The Green Men go by the names Force and Sully. Not much is known about their identity, but they do a pretty good job at agitating the players, the Canucks beat the Leafs 4-1.

Last night during the Vancouver Canucks Minnesota Wild game, Canucks forward Rick Rypien got physical with a Wild fan. The altercation happened after Rypien was sent to the locker roomf ollowing a fight with Minnesota’s Brad Staubitz. Rypien shoved the fan who was taunting him and was pulled away by teammate Manny Malhotra.

The fan was removed from the arena, and Rypien has been suspended indefinitely.

This is not the first time an NHL player has gotten physical with a fan. In 2001, NHL resident bad boy Tie Domi got in a fight in the penalty box when a Philadelphia Flyer fan fell over the glass. No formal charges were laid, but the fan was ejected from the building, and Domi was fined, but not suspended, by the NHL. Stories like these are why hockey is better than every other sport.
