That's a difficult one! Hockey's not that big in Mexico! Also the Mexico national football team are playing at 12pm local time on Sunday vs Chile. What time is the Habs game on at?

This place shows sport - it's got multiple locations.

This magazine is the local GQ/Timeout/Cosmo and lists all the bars - look under Antojo:

Failing that, the area with the most bars is Condesa - the streets called Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas are full of bars so you could wander around early in the day and ask. They'll be packed from 2-4pm on Sunday. There is a British Pub at 92 Nuevo Leon which is worth trying.

Yeah, that's difficult. It's not that hockey is not that big, it's unheard hof. I've never heard anyone talking about it in my whole life. I follow it because I've spent a lot of time in Montreal. Yesterday's game was amazing! :)

Anyways, if you get to a papabills you can ask the manager to change a TV for you. They al have Sky and they show all sorts of sports. It will be just you and the TV, though. No atmosphere at all.

we're 3 habs fans watching the rest of the playoffs in Mexico City. We'll probably try to go to Papa Bills‎, Río Guadalquivir 88, Cuauhtémoc, 06500 Cuauhtémoc, D.f (Entre Rio Lerma y Rio Volga Colonia Cuauhtemoc). Perhaps if we are enough we will a tv + atmosphere. Next step: organizing a stanley cup parade on Reforma.

Haha! - and they'd love it too - any excuse for a parade or a march in Mexico!

I didn't work out at Papa Bill's last time (I ended up watching the game on the net), but I stopped by the Manhattan Deli today (Paseo de la Reforma 325, Col. Cuauhtémoc, at the corner of rio Danubio) and they said we can wathc the game there. I am going there right now to watch game 2.
