MONTREAL – Some of Montreal’s best-known landmarks are glowing red, white, and blue — a sign that NHL playoff fever has firmly taken hold across the city.
From downtown skyscrapers to the island park in the St. Lawrence River, the official colours of the Montreal Canadiens are dominating the skyline.
Fans in Montreal for tonight’s Game 3 of the second-round playoff series between the Habs and the Buffalo Sabres will surely notice the many Canadiens flags displayed in the windows of downtown businesses.
