Yvon, unless I read it wrong, will not be returning to RDS. Benoit Brunet will take his spot in the booth alongside Pierre Houde.

Personally I'm saddened to see Yvon go, but congrats to Benoit who I'm sure will do a good job-chapeau!

Nooooooooo!!

Isn't Brunet that guy who said the thing about Kostopoulos' name?

First Harry Neale off of CBC, now Yvon Pedneault off of RDS. The younger guys are moving on up. I was never a huge fan of Yvon Pedneault. I liked Benoit Brunet as a player, and he's a decent analyst.

LOL

no he is the guy that played for the Habs. (always injured)

Happy to see Pednault gone...maybe Brunet can be less annoying.

I couldn't understand anything he said.......maybe that is why I didn't find him annoying !!!!

Not a big Yvon fan either, but this is not fair, i wanted to hear him destroy the Kostitsyn names for another few seasons.

'bout freakin' time...it's gone make a lot of people happy, most notably the 13,000 users that joined the Anti-Yvon group on Facebook...

His replacement however, not that great of a choice. I like Brunet during the intermissions but as a play by play analyst, his grammar and diction are just too poor.

Heh... Honestly, I don't care much. Most of the time we would mute the TV and turn on the radio for our commentary

[Kronixx]

im glad yvon is gone he made no sense and at times would call the wrong names or teams out or what ever and not even correct himself i agree brunet isnt the best choice... oh well its rds does it really matter

hope brunet does good or i might mute the games and listen to radio aswell although the rds feed seems to always be like 2-3 seconds ahead of the others....

I dont care much either, crack jokes about one 'analyst' or another, same difference besides, best way not to hear any of them is to watch the games at the bell centre

Well...the prices for good tickets are still insanely overpriced. Very few people can afford to go there on a regular basis.

[ColRouleBleu]

i know...

[2VP]

RD? What? CEnter Ice is where it's at.

As for BenwaBalls, I hope he's a better color man than hockey player. I swear if it weren't for the Canadiens, he would have played his entire career in the AHL/IHL

Isn't he the guy that says, " C'est le but!!!"?

[Kronixx]

Isn't he the guy that says, " C'est le but!!!"?

i think so but the other dude says it too hopefully brunet will have a good C le But!!

[Contreal-Manadiens]

Isn't he the guy that says, " C'est le but!!!"?

Nope, its Pierre Houde who says that, so Yvon isn't a big loss

[sens27]

Dont let the door knob hit ya where the dog should have bit ya yvon.

[tony1234]

Apparently they fired that Trudel guy too.........

[maximus123]

I almost wish they had put dave morissette instead of Brunet, the guy has way more personality!

[sandolo]

i think so but the other dude says it too hopefully brunet will have a good C le But!!

lol pierre would say "et le but!" and yvon would just yell out the guys name

[Hemsky83_09]

If I could quote everyone's comments about him from last year ...

Pfft

[ColRouleBleu]

lol pierre would say "et le but!" and yvon would just yell out the guys name

after trying to sneak in comments no one wants to hear on the goalie's positionning
