Cops ready whether Habs win or lose

Win or lose, Montreal police are ready for whatever happens with the Montreal Canadiens and the playoffs.

Police have reportedly been preparing for the situation, whether or not the Habs make the playoffs.

The elimination of the Boston Bruins by the Canadiens a year ago prompted a violent riot, with stores sacked, merchandise stolen and nine cop cars torched.

They say there'll be increased surveillance at this Saturday's game at the Bell Centre, the final one of the regular season.

Surveillance cameras around the Bell Centre should be working as well.
