BREAKING NEWS: Bell Centre on Fire as Three Canadiens Star Players Suspended Amid ‘DOG’ Violation
Montreal, QC – April 24, 2025
Panic and disbelief have gripped the hockey world as the Montreal Canadiens find themselves at the center of a storm. In an unprecedented move, three star players have been suspended indefinitely following a serious ‘DOG’ violation — Delay of Game — a rule infraction that has now taken on a whole new meaning.
Sources close to the league confirm that during Tuesday night’s crucial matchup, the Canadiens deliberately stalled play on multiple occasions, drawing the ire of officials and league executives. What was initially seen as questionable clock management has escalated into full-blown scandal.
According to insiders, the trio – whose names are temporarily withheld pending formal NHL statements – engaged in a coordinated effort to manipulate puck possession and ice delays, violating the league’s integrity protocols. The “DOG” call, normally a minor penalty, now represents a symbolic failure of sportsmanship, prompting swift disciplinary action.
The Bell Centre erupted in chaos following the announcement. Fans booed, players argued, and security was ramped up as protests broke out both inside and outside the arena. Social media has exploded, with #HabsDOGScandal trending worldwide.
The NHL is expected to hold a press conference within 24 hours to address the incident and outline next steps.
