Tonight is the biggest game of the year for the Montreal Canadiens, winners of 24 Stanley Cups in their glorious 100-year history (eat that!).

The Canadiens are down 3-2 to the defending Stanley Cup champions, Pittsburgh Penguins, following a thrilling post-season run that saw them eliminate top-seeded Washington and push the Stanley Cup champion Penguins deep into the second round.

No one in town expected this year’s team to be playing playoff hockey in May. But with perseverance, a crazy goalie (Jaro Halak) and a unified team, Montreal has thus far been the Cinderella story of the NHL Playoffs.

So here you have it, tonight’s Game Six of the Eastern Conference semi-finals between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins here in downtown Montreal at the Bell Centre tonight at 7 pm.

Police are shutting down a one-kilometer stretch of Ste-Catherine Street, and detouring bus and vehicle traffic during tonight’s game. The city’s main downtown strip will be open to pedestrians only.

Montreal Nitelife Travel has encountered and serviced many visitors throughout these playoffs and will continue tonight. Not only will MNT staff be attending the game with our clients, we are going to party the night away.

"I got a fever, and the only remedy is MORE CUPS"

“It’s really been fun to attend Habs games with fans of the opposition, as we have our own in-game banter going,” said Angelo D’Ambra, CEO of Montreal Nitelife Travel. “MNT fully supports the Montreal Canadiens, and the partying that comes with it.”

GO HABS GO!
