The Montreal Canadiens’ 8-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Game 6 really hurt Canadiens fans last night.<\/p>\n

It was a major frustrating loss that discouraged many fans, even the most optimistic ones.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that frustration also left its mark on the streets of Montreal.<\/p>\n

A regrettable incident occurred at the corner of Maisonneuve and St-Urbain during the night.<\/p>\n

An SPVM police vehicle was set on fire by individuals with malicious intent.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the fire was quickly brought under control around midnight, but it still remains regrettable.<\/p>\n

SPVM surveillance footage and a disappointing Canadiens loss fuel debate after downtown Montreal incident<\/p>\n

The suspects were seen on surveillance cameras before and after their criminal act.<\/p>\n

It’s unfortunate because this may represent only 0.1% of the people who were downtown last night for the Canadiens game, but it is obviously making headlines today.<\/p>\n

We do not even know if those involved were truly Montreal Canadiens fans, but it inevitably reignites the debate.<\/p>\n

But despite those instructions, certain individuals decided to go against the recommendations.<\/p>\n

Hopefully this type of incident will not happen again when (hopefully) our Canadiens return home to face the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final of the National Hockey League.<\/p>\n

It is worth remembering that the Canadiens had the opportunity to close out the series against the Sabres in front of their fans at the Bell Centre.<\/p>\n

But the Canadiens massively disappointed at the worst possible moment.<\/p>\n

“You have to give credit to the other team, they played a very good game. We did not have much composure or poise. It was not a good game for us.”<\/p>\n

That perfectly sums up his team’s performance.<\/p>\n

For the Canadiens, a potential elimination now awaits the team Monday night at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center.<\/p>\n

The decisive Game 7 will be played at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens are heading to Buffalo with a locker room that will need to regroup within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Head coach Martin St-Louis will need to find the right words to calm his young players and mentally prepare them for the ultimate game.<\/p>\n

Not an easy task under the circumstances.<\/p>\n
