    I usually watch the Yankees but haven't watched a game this year and don't plan on it until they actually get some hitters on the team instead of all these homerun hitters who strike out all the time with runners in scoring position.

    10500.
    Good news! When the Stanley Cup Final moves to Montreal there will be 10 500 fans in the Bell Centre! It's only half of its capacity but it's a lot better than 3 500. Before then though, the Canadiens must manage to win tonight's game in Tampa, so far in these playoffs, they've always managed to win at least 1 of the 2 opening games on the road. I'll be back later with my thoughts on tonight's game! Until then, enjoy and Go Habs Go!

    I just heard that the most fans they'll allow Montreal to have is back to 3500.

    Tampa's goalie was the difference, Montreal had the better chances but lost. Loon , you get a hold of the pole dancers in Montreal and let them know the boys from Tampa will be in town for a few ales!

    If they're still shutdown, we can always bring our own bacon flavored girls!

    Hopefully we get some. The fox just went behind the outside fireplace on the trail the goes to the gully, it looked like the fox had a squirrel in its mouth.

    After not seeing a bear since 2008 and the fox in a few months, the activity around the house is more than usual, must be the heat.

    Montreal announced Thursday it will set up outdoor viewing parties to allow fans to watch the Canadiens play in the Stanley Cup final, a day after Quebec public health denied a request to allow more fans into the team's home arena.

    The city said the free viewings will take place in the entertainment district beginning with Friday's game.


    "We are slowly recovering from a historic pandemic, and this unifying moment that represents the Stanley Cup final is coming at the right time," Mayor Valérie Plante said.

    "As of this Friday, Montrealers will have the opportunity to encourage their favorite hockey team, a source of pride for our metropolis, in its quest for (their) 25th Stanley Cup."

    The city said details of the gathering would be announced later, but that public health rules would be respected.

    Officials have been trying to organize a safe outdoor viewing option ever since previous games have attracted large crowds of fans in the streets outside the Bell Centre, the team's home rink.

    The Quebec government on Thursday confirmed that it had refused a request by the Canadiens organization to allow about 10,500 fans into the arena, which would have represented half capacity.

    The government issued a statement saying it decided to maintain the current limit of 3,500 fans in order to limit the spread of COVID-19.

    But the health department said it will increase the number of people allowed to gather at outdoor festivals and events up to 5,000 beginning Friday.

    People who are seated must be kept 1.5 metres from those who don't live with them, and masks are recommended when people are moving, the government said.

    Plante said the new rules were what had allowed the city to finally organize its outdoor viewing party, and thanked the government for making the adjustment.

    This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 1, 2021

    He came in from the northeast side which would've been about 15 feet away from where we put in wood and the back where he checked out a hanging flower pot, 30 yards.
