MONTREAL -- Thousands of hockey fans jammed into downtown Montreal on Wednesday night after the Canadiens clinched their playoff series against the arch-enemy Boston Bruins to move closer to their first Stanley Cup in more than 20 years. Justin Morneau Jersey . Droves emerged from downtown bars, while many of the 21,000 people who packed the Bell Centre to watch the Habs 3-1 victory over the Bruins on giant screens also hit the streets. As the game played in Boston came to an end, even Montreal police officers stationed on Ste-Catherine Street pumped their fists in celebratory manner. Outside the Bell Centre after the game, someone put a Bruins jersey on a hockey stick and set it on fire as people began stomping on it. Riot police intervened immediately and hauled it away while a raucous crowd continued cheering and screaming, "We Want the Cup." Some fans set off fireworks in what initially looked like peaceful celebrations. Police reported fewer than 10 arrests, mostly for mischief, less than an hour after the game had ended. Many fans stood on other peoples shoulders and chanted the names of their hockey heroes as police guarded the stores on Ste-Catherine. The victory sent Montreal -- the only Canadian team to make the NHL playoffs this year -- into the Eastern Conference final against the New York Rangers in a series that begins Saturday afternoon. The Canadiens are looking for their first Stanley Cup since 1993. Prime Minister Stephen Harper hailed Montreals victory with a tweet: "Great to see a Canadian team finally take out the Bruins in a game 7." Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau tweeted, "Bravo les boys!" The Bell Centre was a sea of red, white and blue during the decisive match as fans took advantage of $10 tickets to watch the game 500 kilometres away. Some of the proceeds were destined for a Canadiens charity fund for children. There were reports of people selling tickets for $50 in the hours leading up to the game. Mario Trudelle attended the game with his wife, their two children and three other kids. Everyone in the gang was wearing a Canadiens top except one young Bruins fan. "We accept everybody," said Trudelle, who predicted a 4-2 Montreal victory. Team spokesman Donald Beauchamp said the 21,000-odd tickets sold out in two hours. Police were hoping the event wouldnt turn into a repeat of 2010 after fans at the Bell Centre watched the Canadiens eliminate the Penguins in a game played in Pittsburgh. Mayhem ensued in downtown Montreal, with store windows smashed and rioters clashing with police. Police have beefed up their playoff presence in recent years and always have a strong visibility downtown before and after games, particularly for series-deciding matchups. A team spokeswoman confirmed that alcohol would be sold at the Bell Centre on Wednesday night Beauchamp said authorities have done a good job "as far as prevention with what happens post-Canadiens games." "What happened in the past was not necessarily people who were at the venue," he said. "It was people who were not necessarily in the building." Jason Castro Jersey . As analysts we do the same thing, so here are some observations from week one. First there were two major upsets. I should say, major upsets in the eyes of the fans and prognosticators. Kirby Puckett Jersey . Down 2-1 after Rick Nash scored on a penalty shot, the Oilers ran off four unanswered goals in the remainder of the second period on the way to a 6-3 victory on Sunday. http://www.twinsrookiestore.com/Twins-Glen-Perkins-Kids-Jersey/ . The Los Angeles Clippers showed them just how ugly that life could be. Jared Dudley scored a season-high 21 points, Chris Paul added 16 points and 17 assists, and the Clippers jumped all over the Bulls in Roses absence for a 121-82 victory Sunday.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Brad Peacocks fastball looked about as steady as its been all season. The Houston right-handers off-speed pitches were even better. Coming off two rough outings, Peacock (4-5) found his rhythm early and never backed off. He carried a shutout into the eighth inning then watched from the dugout as the Astros bullpen survived a late Oakland rally for a 3-2 victory Thursday night. "He really had his breaking ball working," said Houston manager Bo Porter, who was ejected in the eighth inning after arguing a close play at home plate. "He was able to throw it for strikes even when he got behind. When youre pounding the strike zone with your fastball and then you start to get your breaking ball over, thats a tough combination." That it came against his former club didnt seem to matter. Peacock, part of the off-season trade that sent infielder Jed Lowrie to the As, was just happy to get a win after getting tagged for nine earned runs over his previous 10 1-3 innings. "This is definitely a confidence builder," said Peacock, who struck out nine and walked one. "I have a bunch of buddies over there. Im happy where I am now. Ive got an opportunity here." Jose Altuve had two hits and drove in a run while Trevor Crowe singled, doubled and scored to help the Astros knock the As out of first place in the AL West with their third win in the last four games against their division rivals. Oakland had won 11 of the first 12 meetings between the teams. The As went into the night tied with Texas for first place but couldnt get much going against Peacock. He gave up five hits and didnt allow a runner past second base until Eric Sogards leadoff triple in the eighth. Stephen Vogt followed with an RBI double to end the shutout bid and chase Peacock. "We let him get too comfortable too early," Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson said. "The longer the game went, the stronger he got. He really had confidence in his curveball." Oakland made its best push once Peacock left, and thats when things got heated. With Vogt on third following Lowries infield single, pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo hit a short chopper in front of the mound. Reliever Jorge De Leon fielded the ball and flipped iit to catcher Matt Pagnozzi, but Vogt slid in under the tag to pull the As within 3-2. Byron Buxton Jersey. A furious Porter sprinted out from the dugout and yelled at home plate umpire Mark Ripperger before getting tossed. Porter continued to scream at Ripperger while walking off the field, pausing near the dugout and angrily pointing his finger at the umpire. "When you slow it down, it looked like the guy was probably safe," Porter said. "The way I saw it from the dugout, it looked like he was clearly out." Josh Fields replaced De Leon and recorded the final four outs for his third save. Chris Carter, who was also included in the deal with Oakland, singled to drive in Houstons first run. It was a rough night all around for Oaklands hitters. Yoenis Cespedes struck out twice. As designated hitter Seth Smith fanned three times. The Astros gave Peacock plenty of support early. Crowe doubled off Oakland starter Sonny Gray on a softly hit ball into the gap in right centre in the first inning. After Brett Wallace walked, Carter singled in Crowe to give Houston a 1-0 lead. The Astros jumped on Gray (2-3) again with three hits in the second. Altuve singled to drive in L.J. Hoes for a 2-0 lead, and Pagnozzi scored when the ball glanced off Oakland left fielder Cespedess glove and rolled into the As bullpen. "We were a little in-between on a couple of plays and those things end up costing you in close games," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "But then (Gray) settled in really nicely, similar to what weve done here recently, which was pitch very well." Gray, who pitched eight scoreless innings against the Astros for his first win in the majors on Aug. 15, retired 19 of the final 20 batters he faced. The rookie struck out seven and walked one. Notes: The ejection was Porters second of the season. ... Vogt has an eight-game hitting streak. ... The As activated C Derek Norris from the DL list before the game. Norris had been sidelined with a broken left big toe since Aug. 20. ... Astros C Jason Castro took batting practice but missed his third straight game because of a cyst on his right knee. ... The Astros claimed OF Eric Thames off waivers from Baltimore and sent him to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
