Made the trip up from New York to see my Rangers take on the Canadiens. Not nearly as bad of a trip as a I expected, just north of Vermont. Got some ribbing from the home fans but most of it was in French so I couldn't understand.
For the most part, Habs fans do a great job at keeping visiting fans from getting into the arena. The tickets stay bought up, even on the secondary market, it's hard to buy tickets.

I bought tickets for 221 because they were the only tickets available for the game and I paid a handsome price for them. But I knew I was getting complimentary food and drinks so that made the decision a little easier. Definitely take advantage if you purchase tickets in the Desjardins (every 200 level section).

The view was great, the small sections really add to the comfort level. No complaints here.
