So Stang, everything was well behaved on the Blue Mile in 2006, eh? This says otherwise.
Whyte Avenue in Edmonton gained national attention for its level of violence in May 2006.[7] The arrests at the Blue Mile are estimated at least 350 people through the Oilers Stanley Cup playoff run, including breaching the public peace, assaults, impaired driving, mischief, and alcohol-related offences.[8][9][10][11] This rowdy behaviour led the mayor of Edmonton, Stephen Mandel, to threaten to close down the strip: "I hope this doesn't come down to having to shut down Whyte completely...but this will not be tolerated going into the final series."[12]
