That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off!
Spoiler: It did, in fact, not pay off.

Oilers fan here…loved this. Great fans.

What a great atmosphere that game was. Habs fans rocking the house like it’s a playoff game.

Leaf fans should boo McDavid every time he touches the puck too. I think it worked in his favour last night. Kept him on his toes.
I thought that was a great hockey game. Montreal fans are incredible. What an atmosphere!
IllustriousAnt485
They were saying BOOOOUch!!! So McDavid listened to the crown and gave them what they were asking for. He served it up and the BOUCHE BOMB ends the game. Classy and intelligent Montreal fans as always!

HNIC games continue to hit different. Especially those in Ottawa, Montreal, or Toronto. Always electric crowds.

Love to see it

I was there for this game and it was such fantastic energy! To get booed in the bell centre is a sign of respect – only the best players (minus kreider) are booed

Habs fans? Trash.
You don’t say?!

And he gets the primary assist on the winning goal.
So – who’s the loser here?
Sensationally entertaining 3rd period. By all means – boo away – it’s a badge of honor.

« Leon, are they booing me? »

I don’t get these posts. MTL fans don’t just boo anyone. They only boo opposing players they appreciate. They can’t cheer for McDavid. He’s on the other team. So, they boo him to let him know that he’s appreciated as an opposing player.

Taunt him? No way. Crowd noise is fuel to him.

They hate McCuck. Good to see.
VegitoFusion
I lived in Montreal for 10 years and by the end I couldn’t stand the team because of the fans. They literally just boo the best opposing player, even if they don’t have any bad blood between them.

That’s a sign of respect here in MTL. Every great player gets that treatment.

Habs fans are insufferable

I was at the game. Booing mcdavid was my favourite part of that night. We are just having fun. Im sure mcdavid finds it funny too
SheboyganSudam
Well that’s a minute and a half I’ll never get back. Habs fans are passionate.. more at 6..
capsrock02
“Taunt”. Since when is booing taunting?
oooooeeeeeoooooahah
As a Toronto fan i cant stand montreal fans 😛 But i admire their stadiums atmosphere and their ability to chirp lol
MLSE could take a lesson from the vibes of the Bell Centre and stop packing their arena with suits and « status » fans…. Last leaf home game I was at it sounded like all the fan action was coming from the upper bowl because the suits in the lower bowl were too busy being suits.
When i went to see a leaf game at the bell centre i sat in the upper 100s. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Chirping was in good fun, it was loud, beers were plentiful. And i made some good frenemies wearing my blue and white lol.

I was expecting « Connor » over and over again lol, that’s be a taunt

Who actually won? thanks Frenchy’s

He got the last laugh though.

Montreal fans are assholes! They booed Bedard during his first game back in Canada as a professional.
JamSauce42
No clue why people were upset by this it’s like they’ve never seen the bell centre when a star comes to town
RadioDude1995
I’m not a Montreal fan, but I love Montreal fans. How can you not appreciate their enthusiasm and love for the game? If they’re booing you, you must be doing something right (if you’re on the opposing team).
No-Web-1393
To be fair, Montreal booed, because they have nothing to cheer for.
pjbrick14
How did that work out for them
luxymitt3n
They are saying to pass it to Bouchard, « booooosh » bouch bomb. Not booing McDavid.

Who? Sorry I don’t follow bad teams

As an oilers fan, this kind of thing is great for the game, there’s nothing worse than quiet crowds and zero passion.
Papa_Pasta15
As a leafs fan my friend will kill me for saying this but I love watching games in Montreal cause god their fans have so much fun wish it was us😭
Apprehensive_Car_671
It’s Jake Allen in goal. Shoot from an impossible angle where the puck can’t possibly go in and reap the benefits.
Vingt-Quatre
Has McDavid never been booed before?
niishachar
This has a soccer game feel to it. As an oilers fan I didn’t mind it at all

I loved seeing this. Engaged fans are great, especially compared to some of these dead quiet arenas.

You call that a taunt?
habulous74
It’s a sign of respect. We don’t boo just anybody.

Then they lost in OT…. Primary assist, Mc David.
DrunkenLupus
I can’t believe this is noteworthy in the NHL, this is standard practice every game in Europe.

This was the first time I’ve been to a game at the Bell Centre and it won’t be my last. What an atmosphere!
