Unusual Scene Goes Down Minutes Ahead of Puck Drop at the Bell Centre: Journalists are Commenting on Canadiens Fans Caught Cheering for a Member of the Penguins
It may seem trivial to us, but seeing how much it has been discussed by Pittsburgh journalists, it's clear that it's not trivial to them.
Before tonight's game, live from the Bell Centre for the match between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins, we witnessed a very rare scene.
A player from the opposing team was warmly cheered by the CH fans during the presentation of the lineups:
Sidney Crosby was warmly applauded in the middle of the Bell Centre. (simply because his name was mentioned in the lineup)
Two Pittsburgh journalists reported that Montreal is the only place in the entire NHL where this happens.
It's very rare to see that.
We love it. Clearly, Montreal adores Crosby and gives him a truly unique treatment!
