PHOTOS: Habs fans partying at Quartier des Spectacles & Bell Centre

Well, that was a night. The Quartier des Spectacles was packed for the Game 4 viewing party, more so than for Game 3 last week, and with more hockey fans in attendance the atmosphere was far more festive. Along with the broadcast of the game on a big screen, there were projections of Habs players on the side of the building, by Normal Studio.

I ended up back at the Bell Centre waiting for whoever was going to score next. Thousands of fans were gathered outside as usual, but the space has become more restrictive, with a fence and more police on site. A fireworks show was quickly shut down, and the celebration after the overtime goal also ended quickly, courtesy of tear gas.

Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday, July 7, 8 p.m. (in Tampa Bay). Fans in Montreal can watch it in the Quartier des Spectacles or the Parc Olympique, as well as outside the Bell Centre.
