Hell yeah! Great meeting you on the tour! 1st Beer on me next time we're both in town! Much love from Labrador 🤘
Cheers buddy!! It was nice to meet you as well!
If I remember correctly you are going to see the Habs/Sens game tonight as well? I hope you have a blast dude!
How did you know it was him.
It said hockey junkie on his shirt ?
I never saw his face
@@samuelc1817 I chatted with every person I saw wearing a Wifi jersey that weekend because I knew the junkie was going to be around. Kinda funny we were on the same bell centre tour and he was wearing a hockey junkie hoodie.. I just said nice hoodie... You're not the hockey junkie at you? So basically luck/a bit of crazy
Its on my bucket list as well. I have seen the Habs play 4 times in person but never at the bell Centre. Can't wait but my time is coming as well!! GO Habs GO
I wish it happens for you ! It's incredible.
surprised you didn't tried xekhaj pants on!
lmaooo
LoL! or steal his pants, then you might just get.......the blackeye, from Xhekjai.🤣🤣
I drove 5000 miles from BC to Montreal to watch my beloved Habs play the ' Capitals '. Great experience and did the Bell center tour. Which is epic.
Mister Junkie, really glad you had a good time in our city! You have to comeback and see a meaningful game next season, the atmosphere is insane. In the playoffs, the Montreal crowd is the best.
Having grown up in Montreal, and been lucky enough to go to lots of games a season, I never understood how special the game environment and intensity was.
Once I moved away, and went to NHL games elsewhere, MAN, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
Congrats on your experience.
As a fellow maritimer, I'm glad you got to have that experience. I remember moving to Montreal as a 19 year old, it was such a life changing experience going to the old forum and watching live Habs games where there were 10 times the population of my hometown in the crowd alone. Hope you enjoyed the city too while you were there, I've lived all over the country and Montreal was my favorite city to be in by far!
Anyone who's been to the Forum can confirm this. Utterly unforgettable atmosphere.
I'm from Saskatchewan and went to my first live Bell Centre game April 6th, 2019 and I'll never forget it. Playing the Leafs in their last regular season tilt, Poehling made his debut and scored a hat-trick + the shoot-out winner, Lindgren was absolutely stone cold, and to top it off, some French Rockets were buying me drinks all game 😂
Glad you liked the trip, come back again soon ! There's so much more to see around town.
Hi hockey junkie we went to see Florian Xhekaj play last Sunday in Ottawa and guess who was there yes yes Arber was there and we had our picture taking with him.. Super nice guy.
That is awesome!!! I've heard a few people tell me they seen him at the 67s game. I'm jealous
@@HockeyJunkie yes we were very fortunate to meet him he was there with his mother and sister he was impressed that we drove from Montreal to see his brother play, shook his hand and i was impressed with the size of his hand, man he as huge hands I told him that I received I signed jersey from my son but I didn’t want to wear because his signature would fade away so I end up buying a second ha ha
We are planning to go to Newfoundland this fall
in St. John it would be nice to meet you!!
Been a habs for over 30 years, you are my favourite place to come to my habs content skipper. Thanks for all your work to pump out the content glad you had a good trip 👊🏼👊🏼
Thank you!
I was also in Montreal that weekend for the Leafs game. Such a fun time. Even if they lost. Glad you enjoyed yourself!
Wish I had to meet up with you , me and my wife were there from April 4th-9th! Glad you had a great time and cheers! 😃
Seen the Habs play in Calgary many times, moved back to Ontario in 2018, went to 2019 season opener in Toronto beat the Leafs, the following week went the Bell centre for the 1st time, Habs shut out the Wild 4-0, seen Mete and Suzuki’s 1st career goals and Pricer with the shutout, awesome experience
Your videos were missed!! Having spent 18 years of my younger years in Montreal it is an amazing city! Go Habs Go!
Well done Junkie. Glad you had a great time and saw the Leafs game on Saturday. The Bell Centre is not the Forum, but it's a great place to watch a game - not a bad seat anywhere. I expect the Habs will be lifting the Cup there in 2029.
I hope your right George Buddy!
Awesome trip! I too know the pain of a 0-3 trip, but it's still radical 😂
Hahaha yes its still a great experience for sure!
Awesome bro, just the nostalgia of being there was probably something special. Happy you had a great time I was just hoping they’d beat those crappy leafs for you.🎉
Glad you had a good time here in Montreal!
Looks like fun!
Dude, reach out next visit. Cage is horseshit compared to the other spots we have! Glad to show you the sights. First round in me. Glad you had fun. 😊
Thx for the vid. Loved meeting up with you and I've been to La Cage aux Sports a few times. Hopefully the chicken wings have improved because last time I ate them , there was hardly any meat to those bones (they reminded me of "the Nugget," lol). Glad you enjoyed the trip and hope to see you next time :)
Hahahaha the wings were actually pretty good.. but on the other hand I was drinking so maybe that influenced my taste.
It was nice to meet you as well Shameer! There will definitely be a next time, and I hope we get to hang out again. Cheers buddy.
@@HockeyJunkie thx and looking forward to it :)
I can't believe how close you were to us in the Tampa game! We were in 115. We also ate in LaCage, twice. Pretty decent for the money. 3500 miles was a long way to go but it was worth every penny. Hoping to make a biannual trip and have started saving to return! Glad you also had a blast. I regret not going to Brossard to see the training but we didn't get a hire car. Next time!
Very Cool. Next time in the city, you might care to have Old Montreal on foot on your list. Bagels and smoked meat also.
I had the exact same trip as you except the Laval game. Wish I saw you at one of the games!
Glad you enjoyed it. Wouldn't worry about the tank commander bit: I've seen them play six times at the Bell Centre and I'm 50/50 on wins (doesn't sound a lot but I have to fly from Scotland to do it!). Chuffed that you had a deadly time.
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Montreal! I live a few blocks from Place Bell in Laval, great rink and venue for shows! Ain't a bad seat in that house, you got that right! Cheers
Yup, I'll definitely be going to another Rocket game when I return. That was a good time!
Glad you enjoyed the city, come back soon!
Welcome to Montreal!
Glad you a
Great time! Imagine meeting Mario Armia
Nice to see you had a good time! Well deserved. If you really are the tankathon machine, go pray somewhere before the lottery. 😊❤
Welcome to the Mecca bro
Kettleman’s is from Ottawa. Best Montreal style bagels around. Flagship original location is on Bank street, directly across from Lansdowne Park. Great on game days when the RedBlacks or 67s are playing.
A week,3 games?That is a serious addiction you're dealing with there Junkie!
Glad you and the family had fun :)
Tank Commander...I'm stealing that🤣. I was sitting close to you during the Lightning game. Also stopped in at the Cage and had wings with my twin brother after the game. Next time you're in Montreal, stop in at Barfly for a Play-off game. Voted top 3 best bars to watch a play-off game and top 3 sleaze bar...so you know drinks are MUCH cheaper then the Bell Centers. We have a pool going every game. A tooney gets you a Hab that if he scores the next goal...you take all the scratch! After the game, live music of all kinds. I'll be sitting there with my Black Eye From Xhekaj Hockey Junkie Hoodie. Loved my trip to The Rock. Keep doing what you do, you're the best source of Habs analysis and laughs.
That is awesome man! hahaha sounds like a plan !
Geeez buddy! La cage?? That place is no where close to a great place to eat in my city but I guess if your looking for a place to watch TV and eats wings then yeah....
Parker living the dream on that Zamboni, and now in the Junkietron too! Lol
Every kids dream is to get on the junkietron !!!
They like to get on the Zamboni too I bet
Up in the bleeds is amazing in Laval. Great view, and it being a smaller arena, you don't feel like you're too far either. Only bad seat I've had there is right up on the boards in the four corners. Glass curvature affects the view.
hell yea brother glad you had a good time
yooooo i was at that laval rocket game too
Couldn't be happier to welcome you to Montreal! Really special hearing you give the city and the team so much love, made my day! Hope to see you back for the playoffs soon, it's a whole different beast!
Try La banquise restaurant next time. Glad you enjoyed the city.
man if i knew you were in montreal i would have suggested a trip to shwartz's. need that world class smoked meat.
I got to see my first habs game at the bell centre earlier this season with the habs playing vs the bruins. The bell centre was packed, i could not find a single vaccant seat. Talk about a firstimpression!
I know exactly what you mean. its chaos!!
Merci
Does the wife like the Habs as much as you do? We got married in 1988 and the Habs game was on behind the head table of the reception. My wife knew what she was signing up for. 36 years later and I’ll be down in my Habscave watching the Sens play the boys tonight and Mrs Little will be upstairs reading. She says the sound of the game is comforting though. Great trip.
That's awesome! hahaha yes my wife is a habs fan as well. she doesn't watch every game, but when she does she's more intense than I am, hahah
@@HockeyJunkie she’s a keeper!
Frodo is coming! The prophecy will be fullfilled!!!
It’s always been a dream of mine to see a habs game so maybe next year i’ll fork up the arm and leg to get a ticket but aside from that thank you for the great content you always put out and hopefully soon we can get a Junkie v Montreal 2.0 (Golf Edition)
Great vid bro , glad you and family enjoyed. It’s a special experience.
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! we had a blast.
I wish I could've got more footage but to be honest I was in shock the whole time I was there. hahaha going to Montreal to me is like a kid going to disneyworld
@@HockeyJunkie I m glad you enjoyed and I get that feeling
It's great that you had so much fun in Montreal, and brought us back some fun video footage to see thanks man, your the best!
Got to to go Montreal for the first time this year too! Hope you had fun like I did.
Addicting isn't it? First time at the Bell Center was in 2007, went with a buddy, kind of a bucket list kind of thing, don't really remember much about it, but my wife framed the photo of the ice, the actual tickets (back when they actually had paper tickets) and the score, so I know I was there.
Fast forward to April 2023, and I have tickets purchased from a season ticket holder on one of the Habs FB groups I belong to. Closest game around my birthday, game vs Detroit, team had pretty much checked out by then, Primeau was in nets, and it wasn't a pretty night, getting shut out 4-0 by the Wings.
After that, my wife and I both found it addicting, despite the loss, said it was a good thing we didn't live in Montreal, because we would be on the waiting list for season tickets, and vowed to go again this year.
2024 rolls around and low and behold, Florida game falls on my birthday, so I get tickets from the same person (had I been made of money I could have had tickets for the whole week, but Justin takes all my extra cash in Carbon taxes, so only one game for me). Going into the game, I was wishing for a win, but would be satisfied so long as they scored, so I could experience a Bell Center goal celebration. And score they did. Was a great game.
Was very different this year vs last. Last year they had a stage set up in the court yard, band playing, lots of activities, this year there was nothing. Also last year, we went in the VIP door, but they had everyone backed up in that location and couldn't really go anywhere, other than the food court and the big Habs shop downstairs. This year, it was wide open, and my wife and I ended up walking all the way around the Bell Center on the main level.
Habs and the Bell Center, really know how to put on a show, my only other comparison is a couple of games I saw in Ottawa (not vs the Habs), those tickets were given to us, so why not, but what they do for entertainment at the Bell Center, and the show that they put on before the game and in between periods is awe inspiring. Can't wait until this team gets to the point where the games will mean something getting into the post season. Might have to try and take in a playoff game if my ticket guru allows!
Good that you enjoyed yourself there. I myself still miss the old Forum. You didn't mention going there. I was actually there for Game 2 and Game 5 in 1993 with my father, in the nosebleeds centre ice. I miss everything about the Forum, even the colour of the seats (bright and shiny bleu blanc rouge) to that loud siren. And of course, the old locker room, still encrusted with the blood of Jacques Plante and Rocket Richard, and those famous words. I could even tell you the smell.
Next time, consider a pilgrimage to hockey history, which is all there in Montreal: where the first game was played (Victoria Skating Rink; 150th anniversary is next year), where the Stanley Cup gets engraved every year since its inception (Boffey Silversmiths), where the NHL was born (Windsor Hotel), and of course, what remains of the Montreal Forum.
That is awesome that you experienced the forum during 93! Good for you man.
I didn't actually get to the forum. I asked somebody about it while I was there and they mentioned it was an arcade now or something? So I didn't make time to go there. But next time, I'll definitely take a look!
I was there, first ever NHL game, against Toronto for my 30th birthday. Amazing atmosphere, bought a #20 jersey. It was great even in a lost. 16$ for a beer is the only downside haha
yeah it costs a fortune to get a buzz at the Bell Center.
really recommend the bell centre tour was a lot of fun when I was out there a couple months ago
Wow that’s awesome. Is practice open to the public? Would love to go watch.
Did you make it to the pfk 😮 this is the biggest question on my mind . Thanks for sharing your experience junkie brings me back to my first time glad you had amazing trip .
Welcome to your 2nd home ! Come back soon.
Happy that you had a great time with the family. Born in Montréal and still live on the island. Originally from the Ville-Émard neighborhood, where Mario the magnificent is also from. It’s always nice to ear visitors appreciating their visit !
So glad you had a good time in Montreal and you certainly deserved a break. As a junkie of the Junkie I certainly missed your posts. Glad you are back in action.
ayyy images of my everyday commute to work. Glad you enjoyed your time around here!
great stuff, hope you come back soon. theres so much more to enjoy in montreal.
Pez Gone Wild hahahah 😂😂 aaaah love ya man
Glad you had a good time man !!! 😁😁😁😁
very happy for you and the family, keep up the good work....
awesome im glad you enjoyed your trip
From a flyers fan who loves the content, would love to see you guys beat on Detroit!!
Hey man thanks for watching the channel , I appreciate that.
best of luck !
I feel your pain not seeing the Habs win. I live near Vancouver so I always try and see the boys play in person when they come to the West Coast. I've been to around four games now and have never seen them win yet. Sooner or later it will happen. Going to the Bell Centre has always been a dream of mine so I'm glad to had a great trip
Idk why but I love these video are so good
I was thinking Bro, if u loved seeing all the people, and feeling the energy, u need to go during the playoffs, (a season when we make the playoffs, it WILL happen Junkie, have faith!) lol. U should see the city during playoffs, it's insane man, it's almost scary, especially for small town boys like us. But ya, the city is electric, it literally feels like the city comes to life, uve never seen anything like it!!!
Junkie rocks. Glad u made it to a game... there is nothing really like it. Congrats from Cape breton.
Thanks bud! I met a bunch of Leafs fans from Cape Breton on the elevator at the hotel we stayed at. They were really nice people.
3:25, I feel ya bud, drove to Ottawa on a weeknight to see the Habs get crushed in a room full of Sens fans this year...
Felt HORRIBLE the next day at work lmao.
That sounds like a real nightmare! haha!
My first trip to the Bell Centre was the Sat prior (0-3 loss to the x-Whalers) I guess we are bad luck! Love the channel.
Great video. It must have been awesome. So very happy for you and your family. This has been on my "bucket list" for years but I've yet been able to make it happen. Hopefully next season. GHG
Thanks buddy, I hope you get to do it really soon as well. It's an awesome experience! and when you do go, make sure you tell me about it! hahaha cheers
Even as a lifelong, diehard leafs fan I genuinely do enjoy watching your channel. I was hoping to give you shit for the leafs game but you got to experience it in 4-D. Either way, keep it up
Man thats crazy that you can tolerate me as a Leafs fan. I appreciate that. Cheers man!!
AWW man I hoped you leave a "blackeye from Xhekai" shirt in the locker room XD
that's actually a really good idea lol! next time
It’s always a dream of mine to go to Montreal. imagine going to the bell centre on a Saturday night
Glad to hear about this, Junkie. You're a true fan! I kind of was hoping they would interview you on HNC. That would be a far more insightful (and funny) analysis, for sure!
Haahahh I should have done a coaches corner.
Happy for you n the family!
Thanks Vohn !
Awesome buddy. Glad you had a blast. We who grew up there take it for granted. But as a Montrealer I was so happy to hear your happiness. I unfortunately live near Leafland now, but try to get to the Bell centre every 2nd year. 🎉❤
Thanks man!
Happy you enjoyed your time in Montreal Junkie! Hope you come back sometime soon!
I was there at the leafs game, I seen myself in this video lol
hahaha that's awesome!
Glad you had a great time here in MTL! Hope you had some poutine
believe it or not , I didn't have any Putin! but my wife did, and she loved it. I did steal a fry though when she wasn't lookin'.
Congrats, man!! Win or lose the games, it was a huge win to be there in person. The Habs will be mowing down wins soon enough, and you'll return one day to watch those wins in person.
I can't wait!
Wish I couldve met you! My dad and I love ur channel and have ur xhekaj tshirt! We were at the toronto game as well and all the places you listed haha!!!
That's awesome!! We may have been very close and didn't even know! hahaha maybe next time !
cheers
Monty was mic'd up during practice that day
really?! nice , I didn't know that
@@HockeyJunkie yeah it was featured on the Canadian UA-cam channel. Under Habs TV
What? no smoked meat? can't go to Mtl and not get smoked meat. The bagels are pretty darn good too. Glad you had a good time and supported the tank-o-thon ... cheers
My brother was very upset with me because I didn't get any smoked meat. hahaha next time that is definitely on the list of things to eat.
Hey HJ, I love how much you enjoyed the great city of Montreal. I was born there and lived in Candiac (you may have seen a sign for it when you were in Brossard) until I was 8 years old. My family moved to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and that's where I grew up, but Montreal will always be in my heart, just like Les Glorieux, Les Habitants, our Montreal Canadiens.
Like you, I love our team for next year, can't wait to see what the Kentster does this summer.
Hey, I'll seeeee ya next time 😀
Since I’m becoming a season ticket holder, because God is absolutely real and only he could help make that miracle happen…..we gotta go to a game together man….maybe….even…a playoff game 👀 So glad you got to go brother!!!! The wins will come soon when you go again…and again…and AGAIN 😁
Was waiting for this vid to see the kinda time you guys had, and i'm happy you had a great time in my hometown with the team you love and make the great content for Junkie. You're a beauty and keep the content coming my man! Also, Mario Armia will beat Bedard for the Calder this year cause of you
Mario is definitely getting my vote tube sock!
Thanks man! I appreciate it
How did you feel when you walked into the rink from the concourse! I’ve been to many games over the years, and it always fills me with so much excitement. I’m curious if it met or exceeded your expectations, or was it completely different than you thought?
Saw the Habs play in Tampa this year. They lost then too. But tickets were cheaper.
I was curious about that. I've heard people say in the past that the tickets down there are much cheaper.
@HockeyJunkie Still not "cheap"...just cheaper...lol
Dead center...lower bowl...four rows up...behind the penalty box. $368.
Love your stuff, by the way...and I'm an NLer as well.
Did you happen to see the boys from hftv. That's the collab we all need.
I didn't see them! but maybe next time!
i am a small town guy too buddy
And since that trip Florian Xhekaj is a Habs, Lane Hutson is a Habs, the team slipped to a potential top 5 draft pick, Jordan Harris has evolved to his next pokemon level, Mike Matheson has reached 60 points, Cole Caufield has scored his 25th, Suzuki is on route for 80 points and... most unbelievably Josh Zombie Anderson has been revived from the dead and scored !
Can you make sure to plan another trip around May 6th & 7th when the Lottery is due ? :)
Hahahaha I wish!
we also arrived in a snowstorm, and landed back in st.johns literally during the solar eclipse. crazy stuff lol
@@HockeyJunkie See ? When you do it even real planets and stars align ahah
Lesssssssssssssss go
When your from a small town it is impossible not too have a good time in Montreal whether the Habs win or lose. My favorite moment I have seen at the Bell Center was by Ovechkin dekeing the crap out of Michael Ryder and firing it past Price. Stuff you will never forget.
A shift change at the crab plant.
Imagine u were at the bell center against the phlyers
The best Habs commentary on UA-cam is supplied by Hockey Junkie.👍
