Valérie Plante: “Tonight, Montreal, celebrate with passion, but with respect”

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante has released a statement asking that Montrealers celebrate St-Jean-Baptiste and the Habs game respectfully tonight, in hopes to avoid rioting and looting, which has occurred in the past.

The Montreal Canadiens, now leading the series 3-2, take the ice tonight at 8 p.m. at the Bell Centre. A win would mean that they move on to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since they won the Cup in 1993.
