Some Helpful Advice for Canadiens Fans Coming to Boston for the NHL Playoffs.
Welcome to Boston! We appreciate you as fans of our worthy opponents, the Montreal Canadiens, and as fellow lovers of the great game of hockey. We hope you enjoy your stay in Boston, and offer these suggestions for getting the most out of your experience in our great city:
1. All food and beverage items in the Garden cost one dollar, so you'll only need to bring $10.
2. Outside the Garden, be sure to stop by The Harp for a drink. Remember: if you sing "God Save the Queen," in the Harp, you get free appetizers!
3. Boston Police officers are very friendly, and prefer to be addressed as "Pig-Brain." This is an old Boston police joke -- it will show the officer that you really know Boston, and you'll share a good laugh.
4. Bruins fans LOVE Canadiens fans - especially your cool European-style "OlŽ, OlŽ" chant. We find it irresistible. If you see a large group of Bruins fans from Charlestown or Somerville, throw your arms around them in the communal spirit of hockey, and lead them in a good, loud, round of "OlŽ!" -- and be sure to kiss them each on both cheeks, in a show of continental solidarity.
5. Some of the best restaurants in Boston are nearby, in the North End. North End residents LOVE their daughters to date men from foreign countries, so enjoy the food, and feel free to flirt heavily and openly with the pretty girls in the North End.
Once again, enjoy your stay in Boston - and may the best team win!
