Game 1 - Montreal Canadiens pregame intro & Starting Lineup

[acmilan93333]

Wow. This seems so long ago... Team is so different. I like the current team more, but still... this year I was 13/14 and it was the first time I really got into the Habs. Now I'm 17 and a fanatic heh :/

[HgH656]

Look at Thomas at 6:23 as it is as if he thinking "I'm in the mecca of hockey." As someone who is not even a fan of the Habs, one has to truly appreciate the hockey environment inside the Bell Centre. One could only hope that Leaf fans could someone manage to be as vocal in the ACC

[acmilan93333]

damn... 2 years later and I remember this whole thing... go Habs! :)

[NHLFanatic101]

Montreal's atmosphere is like a galaxy all those waving towel's it's so amazing...

[Pepsifan323934]

That's U2!

[ymanhand]

two questions

1. what does the announcer say right before the canadians come on the ice

2. whats the guys name that walks in and ron mclean says 10 stanley cups right there?

[greasyman100]

@ymanhand he says: madames et monsieurs, ladies and gentlemen - acceuillons nos canadiens!!

[SMROWLIN]

@ymanhand ~ Jean Beliveau has 10 cups

[PurpleNightButterfly]

@ymanhand he says "mesdames messieurs, ladies and gentlemen, acceuillons nos Canadiens"

[KuzeCatGuru21]

@ymanhand he says... acceullions VOS CANADIENS!...which is french for saying please welcome YOUR CANADIENS!

[MzCannavaro]

its going to be the same 2night, MTL vs WAS Game 3, MTL GUNN WIN!!!!

[baloujr]

Everytime I go to the Bell Center... I get shivers... I love our tradition, our pride... Screw the soo-called Fans, who think every decision the team makes is a bad one... Keep both goalies damnit... They are 2 of the best young goalies in the NHL. Price is good, and Halak is also good... One day we will need to get rid of one... But for now, they are keeping us in the playoff race, especially without Bergeron and Cammalleri... GO HABS GO !!!

[akrallysport]

I've been to games at both the Forum and the Bell Center... The vibe, the buzz is like no other.

[TomFromCanada]

I hate montreal, yet as a Canadian, and fan of the sport, I cannot help but get emotional watching this. The fans are unreal, the atmosphere, it is unmatched in any arena in the world.

[expos1994]

I'm a Penguins fan, but there is no better atmosphere than Montreal to see a game. If you are a hockey fan, you must go to a Habs-Leafs game before you die; there is NOTHING like it. I live in NYC, and nothing compares to that. Awesome!

[blairzel]

There is NOTHING like a game in Montreal....theatre is an understatement.

I'm an American saying that...truly unreal.

[keener1739]

Fix You by Coldplay is the song when they are announced...

[JohnnyDamon18]

" 10 Stanley cups walking into the building right there "

Pure class.

[Jdub1515]

The best place in the world to watch hockey

Montreal is Hockey

[skinwalkerxxx]

Damn Maclane is pretty much honoring the Habs there.

[MOMOarabe]

meca of hockey

[Curveball13]

5:24 to 7:42 gives chills every time i watch this video

[bruinssuckcrap]

I know man Its the POWER of the habs!

[bycody]

whats the pregame song called

[uwrfcoop]

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name

ColdPlay - Fix You

[Curveball13]

the U2 song is where the streets have no name, but it's kind of a different song, i guess it's another version, can you help me on that?

[Byks82]

It's the live version from the 2001 Elevation tour. Ironically, this recording is from...BOSTON.

[Curveball13]

thanks

[ymanhand]

@Byks82 i think it might be the version from slane castle in ireland

[Townie5lax]

It's funny...cuz its the version from Boston in 2001...ha....Awesome intro!

[oop007]

I believe iirc it's 2 different U2 songs that they combined, possibly even with a coldplay/genesis song as well. I've heard different variations of it.

It's streets have no name for sure tho, that and in the air tonight are the two I can guaranteed say in this video are the ones used.

iirc in another video they used parts of sometimes you can't make it on your own, but I could be wrong.

[Looler27]

I was there that game =D. The fans were crazy :p

[canadianMTL]

cant wait for 2day/2night at the bell centre. WOW going to be awesome. Montreal always puts on a great show. LETS GO HABS.

[titanzero1234]

I actually just loaded all of the songs from the -live from boston- show onto limewire. Just type in -live from boston- and every song in the album will show up........

[titanzero1234]

For anyone looking for the live version of U2- Where the streets have no name played before every montreal canadians home playoff game, its the

-live from boston- version. so sick.

[Milhouse224]

How could they lose after this intro in game 1 last year? That was an amazing intro, for Boston and Habs fans.

[mashism0]

montreal beat boston 24 times on 31 in their history and three time in the last 7 years

[midgetbeast31]

wow i got goose bumbs when the habs came on the ice and im they arent even my favorite team

[joshj15]

I actually lost track of how many times the habs beat the bruins in the playoffs over the past decade

[Danaron1234]

Habs all the way baby!! God help the Bruins if they face us 1st round...

[PurpleNightButterfly]

first place B's...first upset of the playoffs....bruins wont go no were in playoffs...thomas isnt a winning goalie....

[PurpleNightButterfly]

habs rule.....

[okk]

"statistics are like bikinis: they reveal a lot, but not everything" - epic.

[DudePowa]

wow... what a nice sentence ! i will remember it !!! thx for that men !

[Domenic888]

does anyone know which version of U2's wheres the streets have no name is playing in the background?

[milhouse752]

search boston concert or ireland home coming....redone version at both events..

[mjbanka17]

it's from boston, of course it's from here ;) home of the first place b's

[PurpleNightButterfly]

first place who cares if you meet my habs in playoffs again you will be playing golf

[mjbanka17]

playing golf after we win the cup by slicing through the goalie-less habs in the first round, they will be selling b's hats at the couche-tard

[PurpleNightButterfly]

the only thing shure when Boston plays Montreal in the playoffs is they loose.....

and this year wont be different...

talking about goalie less do you honestly belive Thomas can win you a cup??? please,....

he has done f...nothing...

price is 20 yo...is young and a winner...

[IrishChief007]

thomas is gonna win the vezina montreal should worry about making the playoffs before talking about beating boston

[PurpleNightButterfly]

are you kidding me, you must be in dreamland

[innismor11]

@ 3:40 Big Jean troops through in the darkness (back-lit). You can tell who it is right away. What stature!!

Couldn't been scripted better.

[mceachernrj]

I'm a huge Leaf fan but after attending around 20 games in Montreal I can tell you that nobody does their building and the city more proud then the fans at the Bell Centre and in the streets of Montreal. Even as a rival fan the atmosphere in Montreal is untouchable!

[wallyman10975]

been here to a practice when linden played for the habs, got to go in the dressing room

[Rhouston2]

What player do they show at 5:40?

[JeRiGo604]

Maxim Lapierre

[TGear8]

anyways, whats the song played before Coldplay and throughout the majority of the video?

[Milhouse224]

Where the Streets Have No Name, by U2

[TGear8]

I realized oop007 was talking to bluesdemitra38 my bad there.

[TGear8]

oop007 to answer your question I'm from Ottawa, but with the Habs I'd rout for them if my sens weren't in the playoffs or already eliminated, anyway during the regular season I'd be ok with the Habs but if its game against the Sens then its all Ottawa also I love the Blackhawks as a second team and then the Habs 3rd and is the best NHL city of all.

[oop007]

More gay people in the city of boston then in the gay village of montreal hahahahahaha jokes

[bluesdemitra38]

you can't even hear the music playing when the habs come out. unbelievable. i guess that's life in a city where there's nothing else to do.

[oop007]

HAHAHAHAHAH where are you from Toronto? Cause I know ppl from TO/Ottawa who come here to party just cuz Mtl is that much better rofl. Not even trying to be mean or anything, but it's laughable that you make such a comment about sin city. And if you're from boston then don't even make me laugh, Boston is literally one of the most boring places I've ever been to and it's also a fag-city, and I mean that literally. Tons of gay people all over the place.

[nikhilmtl]

i'm sure u didn't mean to offend anyone. so i'll just tell you nicely. montreal is known for its crazy night life, beautiful women, cafes, festivals. fashion, and all round party it up but laid back life style, especially in the summer. its a beautiful city, and ppl from many places come here to party

[KuzeCatGuru21]

@bluesdemitra38 your a Blues fan, i feel bad for you your suffering enough...lol

[JohnnyDamon18]

Live from the cradle of organized of sports : Montreal, Quebec!

isn't that sentence the best ?!

[nikhilmtl]

yeah, the cradle of hockey, yeah, but organized sports? lol. and i'm from montreal.

[N0rThMeN]

I am so sick of that U2 shit, thety play it ini vancouver as well, no wonder they lose, it's not motivational, stupid euros

[duker81]

what song is that at 1:06..i think its by u2

[x9therocket9x]

Where the streets have non name, by U2, it is on Joshua Tree

[halifaxmtl666]

Montreal, Republic of Quebec ! What a great city is it!

He is right : "The best team in history"

[jjketchup]

thats gonna be me in that tunnel

[innuchris]

At 1:17 when muller looks at the young guys thinking....

( Maannn i misss those days) pretty sure that's what he was thinking..LOL !

[cmns87]

[AccessSmitty]

[stuo11]

on a side note...fuck i miss hockey

[polipoli8]

[solidfortune18]

[dalookythere]

More than ever ! Laraque, Tanguay, AK46 resigned, and the possibility that Sundin joins us later this summer, we in for the cup baby !

[vanluminator]

you know how the commentator sais "the way you build it is with a 7 letter, 2 syllable. the word that conveys, all the sweaters sold, all the stories told, all the stanley cups, all the hall of fame careers that have been handed on"

DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS, ITS KILLING ME I CANT FIGURE IT OUT

[recobalegend20]

[inflictedfear]

What's the song that's playing as they walk onto the ice and Carbonneau is standing behind them? It's epic and gives me goosebumps.

[TitanTowers]

Fix you - Coldplay

[24ydogg24]

it's not fix you its where the streets have no name-u2

[ddawwidd]

When they step on the ice, it's Fix You. Where the Streets is played earlier.

[Dutchcanuck42]

what song is that playing before Fix You

[qhtrinh]

u2's where the streets have no name. ironically it's from the 2002 Elevation concert filmed in... Boston

[ladivamtl]

Montreal best hockey city hands down(better than TO better than Detroit better than Boston) no city has better and more loyal fans

GO HABS GO all the way bring home stanley

[blossomgeisha]

We are the most loyal fans out there, we follow them everywhere and bring the Bell Centre, in a sense with us...GO HABS GO!!!! BEST TEAM IN HOCKEY!!!!

[AlexBestMusic]

voix de michel lacroix trop hot!!!!

[snipes6245]

gives me goosebumps......awesome entrance......great job by the Montreal fans......go habs go

[stpauls0student]

I know the goosebumps everywhere haha!

Go habs go!!!

[ladivamtl]

the Habs have the best fans, Montreal is the true and only hockey town..Detroit hockey town yah right.....

the best organisation, the best team in history i so agree with that

GO HABS GO

[Townie5lax]

That is an Amazing intro...and this is coming from a die hard Bruins fan...that is awesome....I love the entire ice video...hopefully we have something like this at the Garden tomorrow night....should be a great tilt! GO! GO! Black and Gold!

[innismor11]

Yah, Tim Thomas said the same thing. Classy (and natural) guy. I really like the guy, and I am a big Habs fan. It didn't matter to Thomas that the opposing team and fans put on the great show and had the great atmosphere -- it's hockey, he's a hockey player and he was there enjoying it, soaking it all in -- and he wasn't against saying so in public. Good on him.

[AlexBestMusic]

by far the best city of hockey....you know why right now

[vamosrafa07]

AWESOME!

We just adore our Canadiens!

[BrandonL316]

This is an awesome intro, the fans out there are amazing!

[HypnoticEnt2008]

I love it...the pulled the song from the Elevation tour from 2001.  Guess which city this version came from....

....Boston, MA.

[dude5682]

where the streets have no name - U2

[innismor11]

... from Rattle & Hum (live), with the long 'walk out" intro. Great stuff. Just about the best concert intro ever.

[Maxie1111]

Then why don't you add that seperately later on? Youtube can allow that.

[iTony19]

What's the song's title in the background?

C'est quoi le titre de la chanson en arrière plan?

[JeRiGo604]

There are 2 main songs:

Where the Streets have No Name by U2

Fix You by Coldplay (when the Habs enter)

[iamthewalrus1983]

theres also:

in the air tonight by Phil Colins (at the beginning)

[iTony19]

THx!!

[frank9771]

les canadiens savent faire les choses en grand! ils ne manquent jamais leurs coups pour les avant match

[Maxie1111]

Is there any footage of the anthems being sung? To hear it in a bulding like that, is awsome, can't wait for game 2!

[iamthewalrus1983]

look for this video in youtube..part 1 and 2:

Canadiens Bruins pre game ceremony
