Post-game, Montrealers took to the streets around the Bell Centre to cheer on the Habs as they inch closer to the Stanley Cup finals.

In a video, a large crowd is seen watching the game through La Cage windows and Christopher is even seen crowd surfing.
Habs fans surrounded star goalie Carey Price as he drove home after the victory. "After all, it's Carey Price, one of the greatest if not the greatest goalie in history. To have seen him in person was fun and memorable," said @y.zadar, who recorded the video.
MTL Blog's Alex Melki was on the scene at the Bell Center when, after the game, fans literally did backflips and lit up fireworks to celebrate Montreal's very best. Go Habs Go!
