In addition to the former defenseman, another very familiar name was inducted. It’s the excellent play-by-play man Pierre Houde.

In fact, some Molson beers feature Pierre’s face and a congratulatory message.
On X (formerly Twitter), Geoff Molson republished the 5 à 7 post and congratulated Pierre Houde himself on his work. And of course, he didn’t miss the opportunity to praise one of his companies…
There’s no mistake, it’s the best!
Congratulations Pierre#GHG https://t.co/rt6QBiehmJ

All over the media, the team’s commentator was praised for his work and photos of the beautiful bottle were published.

In Quebec, there’s no one who doesn’t love Pierre Houde.
In fact, he will be honoured before tonight’s game against the Oilers for his induction into the Hall of Fame and for his Foster Hewitt Award, a distinction given to a member of the radio and television industry who has distinguished himself through his contribution to the hockey community.
Overtime
– Long absence ahead for him.
Mike Reilly is set to undergo a heart procedure that will rule him out indefinitely.
The issue was found during post-concussion tests, but his heart condition is unrelated to the injury he suffered.

– Should the Canadiens pick him up?
The Blue Jackets and David Jiricek appear to be at a cross-roads, but what does the defenseman represent as a prospect?

– Martin St-Louis doesn’t manage all his players in the same way.
“You don’t manage all players the same way.”
I asked Martin St-Louis this morning if he considered managing all players who disappoint the same way he did with Juraj Slafkovsky on Saturday.

– That pretty much sums up the Cowboys season.
A piece of metal became loose and fell to the AT&T Stadium field (with some additional small debris) while the roof was in the process of opening. There were no injuries. It is being reviewed further and a decision regarding the ability to re-open the roof safely will be made…
