Go Habs Go: the Bell Centre doesn’t give a damn about the Office Québécoise de La langue Française

As of yesterday, the Go Habs Go scandal has been greatly exaggerated.To recap, Montreal buses started writing “Go Habs Go” on their buses, but a complaint to the Office Québécois de la Langue Française caused STM to remove the words and put them in French: “Allez Montréal allez”. Let’s just say it’s a lot less chic.

..I’m all for preserving the French language, but for such a trivial matter, I’m inclined to say: ” c’mon guys “.



..I’m glad to see that the Bell Centre doesn’t give a damn about the OQLF’s directives.

Why not? Because before the game, the “Go Habs Go” was quite visible on the giant screen.I’m not the only one to have noticed.Thank you @CanadiensMTL for #GoHabsGo on the biggest screens in the biggest moments.

– Rick Moffat (@RickMoffat) April 25, 2025The fans got into the game.For long seconds, the crowd chanted the team cheer, even delaying Michel Lacroix’s speech.Ah, and in addition to the GoHabsGo on the board, it’s also written on the towels.

I’m 22 now...
