After a stunning Game 4 victory, Montreal Canadiens fans are pulling out all the stops to keep the Habs in the Stanley Cup Final — including kneeling before Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. 

At around 10 a.m. on July 6, Nico Lorimier told MTL Blog he witnessed a few people in Habs jerseys on their knees on the steps of Montreal's iconic Catholic shrine.

"I went with my mother to pray cause she had an injury," said Lorimier, who snapped the photos. "I saw these guys. It was funny." 

The Canadiens are scheduled to play the Tampa Bay Lightning in Tampa tonight, as the Lightning lead the series 3-1. 

If Montreal wins Game 5, someone may want to send these dedicated fans a thank you note.
