What a game. I was there in a loge with 8 of my friends and my father-in-law, we had such a blast! Abandonato, Dubé, Richard, Simoneau and many more put on a satisfying performance and we got the W. My throat is sore from all the yelling and chanting.

I was telling my friends... : Don't worry, win or lose, we're gonna have fun. Turns out we went to one of the best games of the year. Malcolm Subban sucked ass, to our benefit.

It was my first time at the Place Bell, not just for hockey, and I am really impressed! What a fun night it was, probably one of my favorite live sport events I've been. Of course 7-5 helps, but let's not forget this team doesn't have a lot of top prospects, so I wasn't sure what to expect live. Turns out it was quite a show! Loved Dubé and Schueneman.

Lots of families/minor hockey teams, felt a bit like the Bell Centre on matinee games, but in a good way. Even the host and the side activities were fun. Yes, there has been a wave. No real olé chants though (it got close). The crowd had some fun with Subban, "cheering" him for an easy save after the 7th goal or chanting his name.

They celebrated Simoneau (during a commercial?) for his ELC, nice gesture.

Crazy that we have more people at our AHL arena than some teams in their NHL rink...

Rochester vs Laval again on Friday, Laval is now 3 points behind, but Rochester has two games in hand.

Honestly, I've generally had more fun at Rocket games than Canadiens games. Of course, I'm more emotionally attached to the CH, but in Laval, you get that comfy feeling of a local hockey game paired with the budget and product of a pro hockey game. It's like the best of both worlds. When you think about it, tonight we had double the number of fans of a regular season Arizona Coyotes game. The Place Bell is the most lit arena in the AHL ainec.

Poulin hurt again??

For those of you who enjoyed attending the game at Place Bell, it’s also a great place for concerts. I had floor seats to Porcupine Tree last year and couldn’t believe how crisp the sound was. Plus their seat configuration wasn’t cramped and there was a steady breeze throughout the show, so the air was never stagnant.

Only drawback was trying to get out of the STCM parking close by, where a lot of Place Bell customers park — it took almost an hour to make it to the exit, cars were moving at a snail’s pace.

Gives away your age when you still call it the STC(U)M instead of STM lol.

Actually, it gives away that I don't take it. Gives away your age for trying to pin me down with such an innocuous detail lol.
