Calgary lose in a hard fought finals and there's some rowdiness where the cops need to step in, but overall still a feeling of celebration of what was achieved. Canucks lose twice and twice their city becomes a war zone. If that doesn't say enough, I don't know what does.

Was actually explaining to a Canuck fan why they are widely viewed as the worst. I brought up the riots as an example. He said, and I quote "that happens in every city when their team loses".
I explained that it doesn't. For example, take Calgary in 04. He was adamant that yes indeed, we did have a major riot in Calgary after the 04 loss.
Who knew??
