News Article: Bell Center Can Go to 50% Capacity as of Feb 21st & 100% As of March 14th

[Adam Michaels]

The Bettman threat paid off after all.

If Bettman shows up at the Bell Center, he might actually get cheered......


Oh who are we kidding. He'll still get booed.

 

[Crusher117]

February 21st is 50%. March 14th is 100%.

Until February 21st, it is still the 500 max. However Habs already confirmed they'll keep it without fans because they realized what everyone realized, that 500 max was a complete joke.

There is actually 500 people tonight. Only lodges.

 

[yianik]

LOL, Bettman bullies the government

 

[Adam Michaels]

Did they confirm it? Because when they said that they'd allow 500 max, Habs had said they'll keep it at 0.

 

[Schwang]

They won't be hitting 100% this year, that's for sure.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Thx god

Yeah but no fans in the stands. Just corporate lodges.

For sure they won't. But just to have it open at full capacity is still a good thing. That even if they have 18K-19K fans in a 21K seat arena will be good.

The same for Place Bell and Colisée Vidéotron for Laval and 3R, who are actually giving us hope they'll be in the playoffs.

Ya Laval is the only games I'm actually excited for. They need reinforcements though after losing Dea, Belzile and Vejdemo.
If they make it, that place will be rocking.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

yayy theres still hope for the draft i wanna go

 

[Adam Michaels]

Maybe Legault is a Jeff Petry fan and wanted to make sure his wife is happy with staying in Montreal.

 

[ottawa]

Nice, let the jersey throws begin.

 

[angusyoung]

Who the hell wants to pay and see that shit show anyways? big deal

There are people who enjoy the demolition derby.

 

[Milhouse40]

Why go to 100%?

Molson should have asked to stay at 50%......you want to play that bad in front of a sold out place?
Give a break to the players

Considering the product habs ownership might want to stick to that .

THAT I would pay to go and see,not a heap of well paid individuals feigning interest in competing.

 

[peate]

There are people who enjoy the demolition derby.

With a FIGURE 8 TRACK.

100% this lmao

 

[Habs Halifax]

Now can we leave it at 100% or are we going to do this all over again when there’s another variant?

Expecting the rollercoaster ride to be over with is premature. However, I think our government is going to get too much backlash and be voted out (and also run us into bankruptcy) if this continues. The majority of the population is starting to get annoyed and that's where our elected "leaders" are forced to change. Anything to keep your vote

 

[Habs Halifax]

This means a full house for the Playoffs!

 

[Habs Halifax]

Hold on brother, we have to make it to the 14th of march first...

They are really bipolar regarding these decision it changes every week

The Ides of March is the next day! We are screwed!

Paid off for who? It’ll help ownership’s coffers but who wants to watch this team in person?

The draft being held in Montreal is really the only BC date worth salvaging.

Coffers lol

He’s a good lad that Gary

On a more serious note

“When people fear you... I mean, really fear you... it is the most intoxicating sensation a man can possess.”

 

[themilosh]

Thank you Gary

yup --- Gary just tightened the screws, threatened to move the draft --- and the spineless politicians will crumble. These arbitrary dates are as useless as the current lockdown.. This whole Covid powergrab from the government along with faux-hospital emergency will come to light in a few years.. I look forward to finding out the whole truth.
