Pierre Gervais officially retired after the Canadiens’ 2021-22 season. The team’s former equipment manager left his mark on the minds of many Tricolore players, but his influence would go even further.
Sidney Crosby offered him a bottle of wine during Gervais’ last game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

But then, a bottle of wine isn’t as big as the ATV he received from the Canadians.

Still, it’s a nice gesture from Sidney Crosby, from one legend to another.

– Six years already!
It was six years ago today that the Canadiens played the Senators in the outdoor NHL 100 Classic in Ottawa when the windchill temperature was minus-22C. Here’s column I wrote after that game, which the Senators won 3-0 #Habs #HabsIO: https://t.co/QSIRtGXY1H
