I have never been to Montreal. It’s one of those cities that I hope to cross off my list in the not-so-distant future. I hear that it’s beautiful. Maybe, when I do get the chance to go, I’ll plan it so that I can see my favorite hockey team play up there. It seems like a raucous building.
The New York Islanders have been to Montreal before and have played in that raucous building—okay, maybe Oliver Wahlstrom hasn’t been there before, as I’m fairly certain that he has not yet played a game there.
But the point remains: The Islanders know what to expect when they play in Montreal tomorrow night.
