Story summary

On Saturday, during a hockey game between the Canadiens and the Red Wings at Bell Centre in Montreal, an inflatable hot dog promotion went awry when both the hot dog and its giant bun landed on the ice during a TV timeout in the third period. Fans attempted to place the large inflatables across the arena but they ended up bouncing over the protective glass onto the ice. Canadiens players like captain Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkovsky tried to deflect the inflatable items, with some unintended contact from other players such as Noah Dobson and Zachary Bolduc. Despite initial confusion among players and officials, fans enjoyed the spectacle, cheering throughout the incident. This was the first appearance of this new promotion at Bell Centre, described by Montreal’s Kaiden Guhle as a "crazy" scene.
