I go up from PEI at least once a year to catch a game. There's a Best Western that I usually stay at which is on Drummond street that leads directly to the Bell Center, it's maybe a 10 minute walk and super easy to find your way back after the game. Not the best hotel but it is pretty cheap in comparison to others and there is a Cora's right next door which comes in clutch the morning after. I've also heard there is a great massage parlour across the street as well if you're feeling stressed about the game In regards to the best seats, I've sat all over the arena and there isn't really a bad seat in the place. Even sitting in the very back row you have good sight lines and feel almost on top of the ice, but the downfall being you're not immersed in the sound of the fans. I tend to find seats in the 300s to be the best value. There a lot of bars and restaurants in the area to go to before the game. Le Cage is a great spot and is attached to the Bell Center, but you'll need to show up a couple hours early and you can expect to wait in line to get in. I usually go there but have also gone to a place called Bier Market or something like that, it's huge and you can usually get in no problem. I would recommend going on the Bell Center tour if you can. They take you around the whole place and you get to go up to the broadcast area, the Hab legends room, etc, and even get to see the dressing room (except on game day). I remember walking around town with my Habs jersey on for my first game, and the feeling of seeing so many likeminded fans is truly special. Don't be surprised if you are high fiving strangers or chanting Ole' outside after a win. Enjoy!

Man I haven't posted here in a long time and now I remember why

You literally gave me 4(!) reasons WHY he signed it. Aho was happy with the contract, meaning it was not a low-ball offer as I originally replied to. Clearly Carolina didn't make an offer that was as good up to that point. Bergevin's offer came in at exactly the top of its compensatory bracket, as he didn't want to give up another first round pick by offering more. He also front loaded it as you say, because he felt that the owner didn't want to pony up that much cash at the time. Based on the reaction by Carolina to the offer sheet, it appears that he was right. It was a calculated move and it didn't work out. Most offer sheets are matched, are they all stupid as well?

So....the offer was market value and that is a low ball offer that isn't serious? I'm not connecting the dots here. Would we rather pay over market value for Aho AND add in the compensatory draft picks?

I often wonder why this is a narrative that is held by some. If it was not serious but rather a ridiculously low ball offer, then why did Aho sign it?

Dach and Montembault. That's it, that's the post.

Does anybody want 2 free tickets in the reds? Late notice I know but my wife and son's flight into town got delayed and can't make it. Have to sit next to me though. Pm for details!

At the game near Leaf goal; Habs had some good chances but didn't hit the net to count as a shot

I was at this game and he was by far the best and most noticeable player on the ice

I was there and I am still trying to figure that out. Islanders couldn't generate much at all. Trudeau looked good though

Not sure if I'm alone in this line of vindictive thinking, but I absolutely love that the Canes are eliminated. But mostly the fact that KK was the least used player with only one measly point only makes their previous social media chirping that much better. Enjoy the next 8 years idiots, you really showed us who is boss Edit: Just seen KK got an assist in garbage time, so two playoff points. One behind Rangers goalie Shesterkin

The only game I haven't watched from this series, but based on what I previously seen from it, Roy's 3 points doesn't impress me.

Just like everyone else here I'd love for the Quebec born, late round pick, left winger to slide right into our young lineup. But I was, and am definitely perplexed how he has amassed the points he has. It is true though, that even if it doesn't look pretty, production does matter at the end of the day. He sort of reminds me of Zadina who was a QMJHL stud as well, but seems disinterested and relies on natural talent to get by. At least with Zadina I could tell the guy had a laser beam shot, but with Roy I'm not sure what he brings. I hope I'm wrong
