I'm studying for the LSAT so I'm planning on not going out during the weekday until after Dec. 6

Weinstein and Gavino is on Crescent and close to the rink... It is a bit tourisy, but I find the atmosphere terrific, especially on gamedays.
The Bier Mrkt on Rene Levesque just a block from the Bell Centre is good atmosphere as well.

If you like portuguese chicken, I recommend Romados (115 Rachel street, between de Buliion street and avenue Coloniale) as it is a really good place to go to for a good, cheap and hearty meal with (IMO) the best chicken in town and good portuguese pastries (pasteis de nata) while also immersing yourself in the quite-european feel of that part of town. I must warn you though, there is sometimes a bit of a line while waiting to place your order.
As mentioned above, their prices are really good. For 9.75$, they give you a 1/2 chicken to go along with fries, rice or a salad, and for 13$ they give you a whole chicken.
If you have time, you should definitely go check them out.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the OP all the way through; Romados doesn't, to my knowledge at least, broadcast the game.

Let me guess? They own the ATM that charges you $2.50 everytime....i refuse to attend any establishment that encourages a blatant money grab.
That happened to the me once at a place called Cooper's in Mississauga, ON. I paid with Visa.
This.
Have their burger with everything on it and fries. Twas delicious.
You only go to Peel Pub on Thursdays.

Well it really depend from which team your initialy cheering from. If your coming from Boston,Toronto or Ottawa, i highly recommand Restaurant Wah Do on St-Catherine. Sure, they got tickets for not having their restaurent in proper condition, but hey, there is a TV right there ( an old CRT but thats ok ) and they will gently put it at the hockey game if you ask nicely.
If your cheering for the Montreal Canadians and got money, well there is always La Queue de Cheval, but its pretty expensive. But the food and the waitress are top notch
Bier markt is fine, but a little pricy
station de sport = garbage food
PJs = good atmosphere, very average food, CHEAP alcohol, I go there to watch most of the games, free parking too - about 10m from the bell center

I'll have to try it. Was looking for a spot around there, now I have a reason to go. Thanks for the suggestion.
Don't now if OP is willing to venture outside of downtown, but there is always Rubs in Laval -- plenty of screens, packed, good atmosphere. Maybe this one's more for the locals, a little off the beaten paths.
Talking about ribs, the ones at Baton Rouge are pretty tasty and tender. If our guest wants to venture there, plenty of locations. If you want to save some dough, sit at the bar. Same menu, reduced price.

It's a piece of cod crusted with porcini mushrooms that it sitting on top of potato puree and a port wine reduction. I always have this when at CF and the fish is so tender you can have it fall apart in flakes by gently pressing on it with your fork. The flesh is semi-translucent inside and is cooked to perfection.
Beauty's Luncheonette. The guy opened this place in 1943 and still greets you when you come in. Good food, diner-style. Corner of St Urbain and Mont-royal. About 20 minutes walk from Percival Molson Stadium.
Try some food trucks too. i would search out Phoenix and Euro Polenska. Both are quite awesome. There's an app you can download that locates all the trucks. First Friday of each month there's a food truck festival in front of the Big O. Not sure when they shut it down for the season.

That looks so good it should be illegal, lol. Thanks for the follow-up, will have to try it now.

OP, if I were you, I would grab a bite to eat before going to watch the game at the Sports Station. Go to Moe's Diner nearby for a cheeseburger and poutine for something quick and easy.

Thanks.
Which ones have you guys tried? Which do you recommend?
In my opinion, Montreal's food truck scene is pretty underwhelming overall with rather bland food that is overly pricey (due to its novelty still). I've tried a bunch over the last few years but not many stand out.
I have always believed that food trucks should serve food that's easily portable (i.e. don't give me a sloppy chicken quesadilla on a flimsy paper plate), so with that in mind I remember sliders from Winneburger's food truck to be both moist and tasty. Perfect food on the go IMO.

True. I might be a "foodie" and lots of people roll their eyes at that, but I watch what I put in my body. If I'm going all out and putting a meal high in calories inside myself, I will choose it to be a tarragon butter poached salmon at Rosalie's over a greasy bland burger at Station des Sports.
