Au Revoir Montreal

This past weekend Shay Shay took in the lovely city of Montreal, Canada where hockey is the sport year-round and the French influence is always growing. Here is a random fact for you SportsToilet fans; There is a separate division of the Montreal Police department that enforces the signs in Montreal. Every sign must be in French or you will be reported and fined and after that you must fix the sign. Talk about hate of the English language. Anyways back to the home of the Montreal Canadians. If you thought hockey season was over for the Canadian fans you thought wrong. I happened to walk into a conversation by a fellow Canadian about off season plans for their beloved team. He was telling me that they should get rid of this guy and definitely sign a power player. He then asked me if he should change the location of his season tickets in order to make sure his 5 year old can go to every game. Their season just ended 3 weeks ago! The puck never stops in this city.

If you find yourself wanting to to visit Montreal anytime soon I would book a ticket for this weekend. Sorry for the late notice but this week the Grand Prix of Canada in association with F1 Motorsports will take place. As I was watching the city transform into a party town, I began to regret that I could not stay and party with fellow FI superstar Lewis Hamilton. This 23 year old phenom is a true shining star at such a bright young age. The city closes down the busiest streets in Montreal for the weekend and parties will continue at their clubs all night. Two picks for my fans. First Club Opera to party(just do it). Second, take Lewis Hamilton to win the race.

Last but not least I must touch on those Montreal Expos we use to know. The days of Delino Deshields, Pedro Martinez and Larry Walker . The times where the stadium was so empty the yellow chairs stood out more than the players. And who is ever going to forget Henry Rodriguez and the Oh Henry! bar explosion. One thing that is not missed in Montreal is the Expos. You will see a few Expo shirts lost in the thousands of Montreal Canadian jerseys. My reason for the failure in Expos baseball was the fact that Olympic stadium was so far from the heart of the city. The fact that they won 20 games a season didn't help either. Montreal is truly a beautiful city with so much class and ass and I encourage you to take time out and visit a true Canadian masterpiece.
