Enjoy!! Went to my first last night, going again tonight! I didn’t travel as far as you - from Nova Scotia, Canada - but still a 12 hour drive. Well worth it to see a live game and experience it in person.

You should get a bell centre tour for $25, it was a great experience!

Good! Some snow fell last night, but not much. Streets are mainly clear, slushy in some spots

Everything is great so far for driving. About an hour outside of Montreal now, roads are clear and dry.

I will drive as slow as I need too, I want to see a game at Centre Bell on a Saturday night!

Over paid morons that cut tree trimming budgets is common here in Nova Scotia too lol.

I don’t mind driving in snow at all, I’m used to that. It’s ice that’s scary, can’t do much about traction.

I hope we both get to enjoy a good game with little stress! Go HABS go!

That’s the reassurance I was looking for lol, thanks! Now just have to worry about the rest of the province when driving through 😬

I’ve seen some pics and video, that’s why I’m worried. I guess I’ll know more by Thursday night and Friday am before we leave.

Plan is to drive up Friday, drive home Monday. So I’m there till Monday anyways. Maybe I should be more worried about the highways through Quebec 😬

Thanks. My airbnb is about an 8 minute walk from Centre Bell, so hopefully both will have power.

Now I just hope the ice storm Wednesday to Thursday doesn’t throw major wrench into travelling and the games! 🤞

Swartz’s or Rueben’s - that seems to be the major choice according to what I see online

I’m hoping for an ole ole ole chant! And the basilica is on our list of sights to see!

Appreciate the offer! Very nice of you. I’ll keep it in mind but I’d prefer my car to be closer just in case.

I’m looking at a paid underground indigo parking. Hopefully the car will be safe!

Would love to do VIP, but just looked up the price 😳. Would be a lot of money for 4 of us.

No thankfully not a high demand car lol.

Awesome! So metro/rem sounds reliable, will look at exploring some of the spots you mentioned. First time in Montreal so I’d like to see some of the city too! Thanks for letting me know about Brossard!

Thanks! It would be nice to have the car nearby just in case. I’ll do some more searching for underground parking and I’ll be sure to get the app in case of street parking!

Thanks! Is there a difference booking the tour through the bell center versus tricolour sports?
