Hey guys, Bruins fan here. I'll be making the drive up north to see the B's play in December. What are your thoughts if I wear a Bruins hoodie to the game? Am I asking for trouble? I tend to keep quiet at the games but I've seen plenty of Habs fans in jerseys do the same at the Garden and the outcome wasn't great. I want to represent my team but not at the risk of ruining the night. Thoughts?

don't worry about it unless you are sitting somewhere up high and trying to get into people's faces.

Boo! BOOOO!
What you're wearing makes no difference. Just don't be an ass to people at the arena and you'll be fine.

So I'm going to be in Montreal for a few days. Around Dorval I think. Or wherever Hyatt Regency is. Where can I get the best poutine?
Any recommendations on steakhouse for after the game? Want something different than the Keg. Used to like Cheval but felt last few times I went it wasn't great , haven't been since they moved around the corner yet the online reviews are either really good or really bad. Went to Gibby's years ago and loved it. Heard great things about Moishe's. Any other spots? Thanks for recommending
Hello all, going up for the WJC's in late Dec. Have been reading many, many hotel reviews and while a ton say great place to stay, blah, blah, a ton mention being in "sketchy" parts of town. And while I don't necessarily believe reviews I am traveling with two boys, 10 and 12, so I have to think about this.
Can someone recommend a nice place that is close to a Metro/rail with access to the Bell Centre? I want to do touristy things for sure, but mainly we are there for the hockey. Very much appreciated.

Honestly you will be safe everywhere in downtown... No sketchy place here honestly. On the cheaper side it would be a hotel next to Berri-UQAM metro next to the Gay Village. It is about a 15 minute metro ride to Bell Center. Hotels right next to the Bell Centre are pretty expensive
Thank you, I will research that now.
Edit: Hotel St. Denis looks like a good one. I will book tomorrow unless someone here says not to.

Hi friends. Coming into Montreal next Friday for the weekend. First timer!
My only question is, where do I go for a smoked meat sandwich?
Schwartz seems like the obvious choice. One of those things you kinda have to do. But I've heard Reuben's is better. Which do you recommend?

Want to come up from NH for the Feb 28 game vs Columbus. Have no idea how the city is laid out...where to be and where to go. My wife and I are B&B goers...not hotel people...any suggestions?
I don't think we need to be right at Bell Centre but convenient to a Metro stop would be great. Planning to stay an extra night so we can explore more of the city so being near a nice night district for the second night would be nice. Not late night partiers but nice restaurants and wine bars or adult music would be nice.
Looks like I gotta go to Stubhub, nothing on NHL.com for that game.

First time going to the bell centre this monday, gonna spend most of the day in montreal, but head back to Trois-Rivières at the end of the game. Where do you suggest that we park to leave the car for the whole day and not be stuck for an hour or two at the end of the game?
Also where do you suggest we go for diner, we went to eat good chicken wings and really don't want to go to La Cage au Sport.
Thanks

There's a parking lot on Stanley below Ste. Catherine that I used to park at when I would drive to games. There will be a little bit of traffic post game, but it's very manageable.
As for good chicken wings in Montreal... I've lived here for all my life, and I'll let you know if I ever find any.

I ate at the one near my house with my dad once a few years ago. He looked around and said "Wow this place hasn't changed in 25 years."
It closed last year but the 'Corner Snack Bar' aka Moe's was a classic.

Man... Marvens. Haven't been there in years. In the middle of frikkin nowhere, eating huge brochettes against a hunting-lodge decor. Like what a Greek restaurant in Wyoming would be like.
