This place is a palace!
I love the arena. The banners of championship teams, retired numbers, and even the Montreal Expos retired numbers are awe inspiring. There is also a picture of a Canadiens great above every section. I was lucky enough to be sitting in the Jacques LeMaire area (Go Devils!).
The game I came to see was vs the Sabres and it was a 2-0 loss. I really wanted to experience a goal, but it was a great game. I had gotten myself a Brian Gionta (ex-Devil) jersey and rooted for the home team.
The concourse was huge, packed to the gills during intermissions. Luckily the bathrooms were also huge and clean. With enough places to go, it moved quickly. The Molson was good, and the concessions were plentiful. The place is always sold out from what I understand, and it looked amazing.
It was easily found from my hotel and a fairly short walk. Just get your tickets early, I got mine on Stubhub and paid double, which I heard wasn't too bad.
I cannot wait to go back! Hopefully I can see a game vs the Devils, before Brodeur retires.
