If there’s one thing that’s certain, no one does a better home opener ceremony than the Montreal Canadiens. Chills. Every time. The home opening ceremony started with a choir rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” before the player introductions and the proceeded with the national anthems and then the puck dropped.
