The defenseman Andrei Markov, who marked the 2000s with the Canadiens, will be honored by his former team.
This is news that will delight many Habs fans, who still carry the sting of Marc Bergevin's questionable treatment of him at the very end of his career.
We recall that, last season, Markov attended a Canadiens game and received a massive ovation.
An undeniable proof of the unconditional love of the fans for the defenseman, who shined alongside PK Subban and allowed Mike Komisarek to be considered a top-pair defenseman for a few years.
The Canadiens will honor Andrei Markov this season
It will be on the occasion of the December 3rd game against the Jets that Andrei Markov will be celebrated by the Montreal Canadiens.
We can already hear the Bell Centre roof exploding!
On social media, the reactions are numerous and, as a sign of the defenseman's popularity, not a single negative comment has been made.
On the contrary, everyone seems to be saying it was about time the Canadiens fixed Marc Bergevin's historic mistake, when he refused to grant Markov a contract worthy of his loyalty to the Habs.
"The Canadiens will organize a tribute night for Andrei Markov on December 3rd to honor his 16 seasons with the team."
