GreekHockeyCoach Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Where is the best place, besides inside the Bell Center, to watch the skills competition if your going to be in Montreal? I'd say any sports bar in the downtown area. A personal favourite of mine is the Peel Pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenIsThaFuture Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 You can never wrong with a Cage au Sports too, although you would need to reserve one of those a week in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViennaCapitals Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 how is the parking situation around the bell,...is there an underground garage or somethn like that? thx cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColRouleBleu Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 There<s an underground garage but it fills up pretty quickly. There's an outdoor parking on the other side of the street but there's also the Hilton Hotel parking one block away (East) who offer parking for hockey games ad it's indoors.

mtl_--HabsFan--_mtlc Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 My family and I are planning a trip to Montreal in March or April to attend our first Montreal Canadiens game. I am looking for assistance in picking "good" seats. I have a few questions and would appreciate any suggestions/information: - Where is the best place to purchase online tickets? (ie. stubhub) - Most of the available tickets appear to be in the white, grey, blue sections. Are there any seats better then the others or sections we should avoid? Thank you!

trock48jj Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 i'll be staying at the four points 6 blocks from the bell center thursday and friday night. I'm gonna have a few friends with me. Wondering if anyone wanted to meet up? I will be spending most of my time trying to get autographs with one of my friends. But we will want some down time at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leblancchris-hotmail-com Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'll be in town for the HABS vs leafs on Feb 7th. I'm wanting to go to the morning skate because I really want to take advantage of my trip, so I was looking for some info like ; can I actually go? where is it? does it cost money? would I be able to get close enough for some good pics? Also, where should we go after the game for some beers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-m_mtl Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi im new to this forum and have a question i hope someone can help with.... my wife and i are taking our 8yo son to our first NHL game... we have been given 2 tickets in the club desjardin section 203 ... and as we all would like to experience the game in these seats....im thinking of buying a single ticket from stub hub for section 402 ,which seems close by (at least in the seating chart) and my wife and I would switch off during the game so we both have an opportunity to catch a period in the good section (203) ...... logistically is this reasonable ? or is it once your in a section , ur basically there till game over?? any feedback greatly appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you come a day early, you could go to the practice in their training facility in Brossard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leblancchris-hotmail-com Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 where should i go to watch the game on tv friday night? i'll be staying near the bell center so it'll have to be close to it I'm thinking a nice dinner for my girl and a pub for the game any suggestions?

Rocket-1 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Right next by the Bell Center, theres not too much choice, La cage aux sports or Peel Pub could be allright, but it's nothing special. But theres a place (a 5 minute drive) from the Bell Center called "La station des sports" Sports station in english, it's a really great place to watch a game. Heres the details of the place: 2051 Ste-Catherine West Montréal, QC H2M 2T6 (514) 931-5559 The food is also great for a sports bar type of place.

Rocket-1 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 It's okay, just tell the taxi driver that your in a hurry so he'll pick up the short cuts instead of trying to milk you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteenIsThaFuture Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 whats the taxi service like in le city? Always travel with someone who knows the area, so they can tell the driver where to go, otherwise the driver will "long-cut" it all the way through.
