An excerpt from the Tampa Tribune (Erik Erlendsson):

#2- Montreal – I’m already excited thinking about the possibility of being in attendance at the All-Star game in January followed by the draft in June (assuming, of course, the newspaper is still in existence nine months from now). My favorite bar on the NHL stop resides in Montreal, an Irish bar (go figure!!!) called McLean’s with a good atmosphere, sports on TV and a good mix of music in the background. And a stop at Gibby’s restaurant in Old Montreal is a must at least once per season. The steaks are among the best I’ve ever had. Mix in the great nightlife the city has to offer and it’s the best city to visit in the league, just behind . . .
