Not sure if you get it if you don’t understand what’s being said but the words/phrases in the commercial are “au revoir” (goodbye), “excusez-moi” (excuse me), “non” (no), “magnifique” (magnificent/beautiful) and “bienvenue à Montréal” (welcome to Montreal).

The Montréal Bell Centre and the old Forum were the places where I saw all of my early hockey games so I have a real attachment to it.  I live outside of Calgary now so it will be nice to see the All-Star game being broadcast from one of my own haunts.
