There was very sad news last weekend with the death of former Canadiens defenceman and 1993 Stanley Cup champion Lyle Odelein at age 58, eight years after having multi-organ transplant surgery after a blood infection.
On this Hockey Inside/Out Show bonus episode, The Gazette’s Stu Cowan is joined by former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champs Chris Nilan and Brian Skrudland, who reminisce about their friend and teammate.
