During a Canadiens game against the Red Wings, an inflatable hot dog and bun promotion went awry when both inflatables ended up on the ice during a TV timeout in the third period at Bell Centre in Montreal. Players like Nick Suzuki and Kaiden Guhle expressed amusement mixed with confusion as fans cheered while attempting to place the inflatables over the glass barrier. The event, which is inspired by similar promotions seen at MLB games, caused minor disruption but seemed to entertain the audience despite some initial concerns from players and officials about safety and game flow.

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.
