Inflatable hot dog lands on Bell Centre ice during Canadiens-Red Wings game

During Saturday's Montreal Canadiens game against the Detroit Red Wings, a large inflatable hot dog and bun were sent onto the ice and hit Canadiens players and the bench. The items are part of the Bell Centre's hot dog challenge, in which fans try to bring the two nearly 10-foot inflatables together within 30 seconds. Montreal's hot dogs have been a notable part of the team's game-day experience, and the sausage was enlarged this season while remaining $5.25 CAD.
