What the Puck: Montrealers go nuts outside Bell Centre after Game 3 win

The Gazette's Brendan Kelly was just outside the steel-fenced-in fan-jam area beside the Bell Centre Friday night, standing around with thousands of fans watching Game 3 of the Montreal Canadiens Tampa Bay Lightning playoff series. It had been a beautiful sunny spring day but it was pretty darn chilly by the time the two teams went into overtime for the third straight game. Everyone went absolutely nuts when Hutson scored the winner. To the fans who braved the cold, it was about more than just hockey.
