FeedThe Old Montreal Forum – Before The Renovations
December 20, 2009 in Montreal Canadiens Tags: Danny Gallivan, Montreal Forum, Rene Lecavalier
There’s no Canadiens crests at centre ice for some reason, but the pillars that were there blocking people’s views can be seen just at the top of the blues. And is that Rene Lecavalier and Danny Gallivan up there in the booth telling us in French and English how the boys are doing?
This is a 1960’s artist’s rendition of the old Montreal Forum before its 1968 restoration. I think it’s quite beautiful, in a whimsical kind of way.

Of course, no rendition of the Forum is complete without being packed to the rafters.
I keep staring at the scoreboard trying to figure a more realistic interpretation of the score than Montreal winning 11-5 but that’s good too.

It’s just as you say, Dennis. Beautiful in a whimsical way.
Thanks for posting it. It’s not as dark as my memories of the Forum but that is the whimsy you refer to. The colour is very nice, too. Do you own this piece?
