The Montreal Canadiens flag will be flying in front of Boston City Hall after Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre won a bet with Boston Mayor Marty Walsh that the Habs would win against the Bruins.

Denis Coderre bets Boston mayor the Habs will win

The Habs defeated the Boston Bruins 3-1 on Wednesday in Game 7 of their NHL playoff series, eliminating Boston from the playoffs.

While Bruins fans lick their wounds today, Walsh has a bet to fulfill.

The mayors of the rival teams' hometowns bet that whoever lost the series would have to wear the other town's jersey and fly the team's flag at city hall for a week. The losing mayor also has to visit the winning mayor's city as part of the deal.

Walsh said he plans to make good on the bet, just as soon as Coderre sends him a flag and a jersey in the mail.

The Boston mayor joked the flag will be up above city hall for about 10 seconds.

But he said the most difficult part of the bet will be wearing the Canadiens jersey.

"That's going to be a tough one for me," he said.

Coderre is currently in Europe on a cultural and commercial mission. He has been following the series, however, and today tweeted that he'll be in touch with Walsh to work out the logistics of their agreement
