Your call is important to us. Please hold for the next available respresentative.

BC Place?

So they'll be playing on turf to start?

[Sab0tage]

Montreal should be kicking themselves. They could have had their place confirmed right about now if they didn't back out.

[chip_butty]

The opponents in the background shot of BC Place are dressed in all red ;-)

[VoxPopuliCosmicum]

Elevator music while waiting. Sux.
