RDS TO TRY BROADCASTING GAME FROM YVAN PEDNAULT'S POINT OF VIEW

MONTREAL - With Pierre Houde taking a "grooming day," RDS has announced that it will attempt an alternative method of covering Friday night's match between the Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres. The game will be broadcast entirely from the perspective of colour man, Yvan Pednault.

It is unclear from RDS if this experiment will be a one-time only occurance, or if there will be several "Yvan PednaultVision" attempts.

Fans are "intrigued but not overly enthusiastic" about the idea of Yvan getting side-tracked from in-game events to talk about other sports, family, or just his socks. Some fans are worried about the dead-air that could arise from Pednault's frequent stares into nothingness. Old ladies and children are already trembling at the thought of the creepy smile he oft-gives to the camera.

However, one thing is for certain: with Pednault watching, almost everyone on the ice will be scorned for at least one mauvaise jeu.
