I hate the club scene. We are three people. I am willing to bet the guy you are arguing against knows more than you, and that you are arguing from a point of insane jealousy-to-the-point-of-unexplainable-rage towards Vancouver with only hyperbole and exaggerated stories to back it up... as you always are.

I went to Vancouver once in 1981 and I just did not feel safe!

[calumniate]

Should have gone to the Railroad Club.. good times!

[squiggs96]

I find the clubs in Vancouver are very safe when I go. My home club is Marine Drive, but I also go to Shaughnessy and Point Grey when invited. Even the Quilchena club in Richmond is safe.

Well played sir, well played.

I've never felt unsafe in any gastown establishment BUT Granville is always littered with drunk schmucks

[Ozy_Flame]

Yeah I've been to almost every major bar in Calgary at least once, and some of the main ones in Vancouver. While I don't discount the safety issue at certain times, for the most part it's safe if you're with a good crowd and you know not to get into other people's business. Either people in this thread have been looking for trouble, or there is an elevated sense of paranoia.

Just have street smarts. Don't be a hero, don't make extended eye contact with people, don't obnoxiously hit on women with other dudes around, don't mouth off the bouncers, and don't be a jackass on the dance floor. See a fight happening? Let someone know and have the bar deal with it. General rule is don't trust anybody, and if you're cognizant about your surrounding, it's fine.

I wish people would stop harping on 1981.

Just to remind people here.. Milan Lucic is a great athlete and good hockey fighter; but people are making it sound like he could never lose a street fight. While he is a good hockey fighter and probably has trained 'MMA' he is clearly drunk in this video and there are some pretty tough, healthy over 6'0, 200lbs people in almost every city. I am not saying you guys are wrong and he would get beat up..But at the same time its not un-heard of or impossible for a drunk or even sober Lucic to lose a fight on or off skates. Not to mention there are tons of professional / experienced fighters / roid monkeys walking about in places like Vancouver and Boston who wouldnt be afraid to fight Lucic either out of foolishness or they actually have the ability to defend themselves.

PS. Go Bruins this season! Want to see Iggy get his cup more on that team than I did on the Pens for some reason..

the big difference maker is in training to fight and in actually fighting you gain the muscle memory to take a punch which is a huge part of winning a fight. A 6'4 235 pounder that trains to fight and takes punches from other 200+ pounders regularly is going to wreck nearly everyone, >99.9% of the population. Those roid monkeys aren't going to be able to hurt him at all, swinging wild hay-makers at him would result in a quick knockout, you clearly do not understand/have much experience in fighting because the gap between the trained and untrained is so vast that you can't make statements like this credibly. Look at how much the training helped Mcrgattan win his fight yesterday, he looks so calm and composed and generally comes out unscathed because he trains how to fight properly and his skill lets him dominate people. Lucic might not be the best fighter in the NHL but there are few people on the street that could hang with him, just like any other sport; can't jump in a formula one car and try to hang with Schumacher, it's impossible.

[Meers]

I've always felt safe in both Vancouver and Calgary.

Just like I felt safe living in New York and LA.

Now, Moscow, Johannesburg, parts of Rio and Mexico City, Kinshasa, Sierra Leone, Uzbekistan. Those are the places I'd watch myself in.

[Super Nintendo Chalmers]

Listen to AcGold. He knows his stuff.

[Iggy Snipe]

Lucic could have beat the wheels off that guy. He chose not to, which was the right thing considering he is a professional athlete and doesn't need to prove anything to those guys. Im sure he would have loved to take a few swings, but he is too smart.

[Stats87]

So I actually know the guy having the altercation with Lucic. No not a friend, but I grew up playing sports against him. Although technically I know Lucic to a small extent as well since my cousin played hockey/went to high school with him growing up and the birthdays and what not.

Anyways, the guy in the video is probably one of the craziest people I`ve ever come across. He used to get red cards in soccer...at age 14 and even had issues where he went after refs.

He has a younger brother who is a little more stable, but once tried to pick a fight with my friend after we beat them in the final of our High School floor hockey tournament. So crazy is in their blood. I can't remember the details of their father, but he had some local connections.

I`m actually surprised these two don`t know each other already considering where they grew up and respective high schools.

Anyway, I know Lucic is a big guy, but the guy in the video is dangerous because of how unpredictable he is with how far he might take something.

Agreed

We have lots of great Pubs, Breweries and Taphouses...but I haven't been to a straight up club in...5 years? I still sometimes go to the Roxy but only because my cousin Bartends and the crowd there is laid back and chill.

One problem with your theory here is that every other Ed Hardy wearing popped-collared d-bag "trains" at an MMA gym these days. I blame the fact that there's now an MMA gym on every other street corner for the huge rise in general d-baggery in clubs in general. Granted most of these guys will get tuned up pretty bad by a professional fighter, but amateur boxing history aside I don't think that Lucic fits into that category. He might spend a few hours a week in a boxing gym during the off-season, but I doubt he finds the time during the regular season. There's more than a few guys out there that have enough training to land a lucky punch and take a guy like Lucic down, and for the vast majority of them the infamy being the guy to do it would gain them is more than worth the risk of getting dropped.

[Flash Walken]

I don't care what anyone says, a prime Randy 'Macho Man' Savage would wipe the floor with Chris Jericho.

[Poe969]

Have there been many nose jokes about Lucic?

[puckluck2]

"I will effin kill you" is an acceptable phrase in Vancouver that doesn't get you charged. Heck I knew a guy who got arrested for the throat slash gesture. Vancouver is a special place.
