    Yeah ditto I checked their website a week back and no news yet -- last year they didn't offer Japan but they told me they were trying to add new regions so I have my fingers crossed . . .

    Wow I can't imagine not being able to watch Habs games on a regular basis! I'll write them an email :)

    Off-Season Game Plan: Canadians

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Posted · Edited by les_glorieux

    The Montreal Canadiens topped 100 points in a season for the first time since 1992-1993, a surprising development from a team stocked with young talent.

    Off-Season Game Plan looks at one of the most talented young teams in the league, and what they might do in an effort to take the next step and get back to competing for the Stanley Cup.

    Bounced by the Flyers in the second round of the playoffs, the Canadiens haven't advanced beyond the second round since 1993 (the last time they won the Stanely Cup, yet there is still a great sense of optimism surrounding the team because they have such quality young players on the rise to support their established veterans.

    With guys like Alex Kovalev and Saku Koivu holding leadership positions on the team, the Habs can't afford to waste their productive years. Thus, adding another veteran could help speed the Habs along the development curve.

    Free agency hasn't been terribly kind to Montreal in recent seasons, but the team's improving reputation as one of the league's up-and-coming young teams may help sway the decision of a potential big-name addition.

    If young players like Tomas Plekanec, Chris Higgins and the Kostitsyn brothers -- to say nothing of Carey Price -- improve, the Canadiens will have to be considered among the contenders heading into next season and that kind of potential is attractive.

    So, what kind of player might the Habs want to get?

    "We want to play a fast game," general manager Bob Gainey told the Montreal Gazette. "Could we be bigger and more rugged? Perhaps, but our philosophy is we're quick, we're exciting, we're on the attack and we're ready to score."

    That's a style of play that isn't just attractive to free agents, but it makes the Canadiens one of the more entertaining teams in the league to watch.

    Just like old times.

    Well unfortunately I was off by one in the east, so that messed up my matchups. Also, even though I got all the teams right in the West, I messed up who would play who. Hooray for me.

    I am looking into tickets, through ebay and scalper sites.

    Anyway I got a question:

    I know the Bell centre sections, but I do not understand the rows? They are not numbers, I think they are letters, if they are which letters are closest or farthest?

    Also, I've never been to the bell centre so I was wandering for the many of you that have, if the sections 200's and 300's are really high up (hard to see the puck, need binoculars etc.) or is it watchable from those sections? Where have you guys really found to be good seats?

    Answers will really be appriciated :)

    AA is the closest. Whites are really good, no matter where. All of the sight lines in the Bell Centre are great. I would avoid anything at far ends of the rink, like the Saputo and Molson Ex. Zone. The advantage for those sections is price. The best seats I've had were 10 rows back centre ice, the worst were in the back of the Molson Ex. zone. I had an awesome time on both occasions.
