Montreal Canadiens Game Six: Police Prep for Massive Crowd

0:00It's May 1st, from your city to your ears. This is Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Montreal, Canadians, fans are packing the bell center tonight for game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, with thousands expected downtown and a massive police presence to keep things smooth. Police are hitting the streets on foot, bikes and even horseback, coordinating tight with the team's security for crowd and traffic control inside, and out. They've been prepping for weeks, ramping up visibility and big time since this is a do-or-die match-up. Everyone's feeling that Canadians fever, but cops are stressing fans do their part respect the vibe, no risking others. They handle over 2,000 major events a year, so they're dialed in on keeping the energy positive win or lose. A fresh Quebec law from April cracks down hard on fireworks and smoke devices, letting officers search, seize and slap a minimum $500. Final anyone packing them, two dangerous for crowds and fire risks.
