MONTREAL — Montreal police say two people will be fined for lighting fireworks in the city’s downtown after the Canadiens beat the Buffalo Sabres Monday night in Game 7.
Police did not give the amount of the fines, adding that the two people will receive the tickets at a later date.
Chief-Insp. David Shane had warned fans it’s forbidden to throw or possess fireworks or smoke-emitting devices during gatherings.
The decisive Game 7 was played in Buffalo, but the Bell Centre, home arena of the Canadiens, hosted a sold-out watch party for roughly 20,000 people.
