Not a chance, it'll be sold out.

Looking at Ticketmaster there are a few tickets left but not many.
I'll be in Montreal Saturday but the re-sale for Canada/US is too pricey so it'll be the Pub for us..

 

[Magic Man]

I'm interested to see if Mitch is a good fit on McDavid's wing.

Should have had it in the hockey mecca. Montreal always has low turnouts for these events it seems

Ottawa just hosted a tournament. Probably time for someone else.

 

[Fatass]

3-2 Sweden. Canada starts slow in tournaments.

Good one lol. You guys are hockey mecca by proxy. You are our Melinda Gates.

But seriously, Montreal struggles to fill seats for the WJC and stuff is what I was referring to.

You're right. Fill the lower bowl with suits so when Canada scores you can hear a rat piss on cotton.

It wouldn't be corporations with season tickets for this obviously. Barn is rocking in pre-season and playoffs

But it's already in Montreal. Imagine the snooze fest in Toronto

A 3/4 filled Bell Centre is louder than Scotiabank any day of the week.

 

[jigglysquishy]

I hate that it's an 8 PM EST start instead of 7.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Not a chance, it'll be sold out.

This is Montreal.. damn right it will be sold out.

 

[tade]

Is it going to be intense at least? Or do we expect something close to 'non-contact' hockey?
