Very touching ceremony for Jean Beliveau before the VAN/MTL game. Crowd then sang the (bilingual) anthem without a singer. Proud of my homies right now.

may your spirit soar like an eagle

They painted the seat he used to occupy with his number on it. It's lit up during the game. His widow is sitting right next to it tonight.

Common.

Montreal knows how to dispose of their dead old farts with CLASS.

I may have been the only US citizen to watch it, but I did.

I love all old hockey farts. Still pissed I didn't win that Dickie Moore card. He's born the same year.

No surprise they would have a great tribute to the great Beliveau. The Habs always do that shit up right.

I hope they're going to bury him at some point. Wasn't it like 6 or 7 weeks ago that he died?

Nice.

BTW it's not paint on Bliveau's seat - it's his jersey that they stuffed in there.

Fok we're good.

The Montreal Canadiens have sold out Bell Centre for 422 consecutive games.

All 383 regular-season games and 39 games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs dating to Jan. 8, 2004 were officially listed as a sellout, a streak that is one month short of 11 years.

The streak was snapped Tuesday.

The official attendance for the Canadiens' 3-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks was listed as 21,286, one short of capacity, to account for the empty aisle seat in Row EE in Section 102, three rows behind the Montreal bench.

The seat had been occupied for years by the late Canadiens legend Jean Beliveau, and though he wasn't there to fill it Tuesday, the seat was in many ways the star of a night-long tribute to the Hockey Hall of Fame center and pre-eminent hockey ambassador who touched so many during his career and after.

He was a legend. Will be missed. Is it typical for Canadian sport seats to not have cup holders? Where do you put the beer?

 

[Matty]

You're expected to drink fast enough that you don't need a cup holder.

Rogers Centre (Skydome) has them. Not sure about Air Canada Centre.
