Pierre Houde's, perhaps the best play-by-play man in the business, call of Cole Caufield's 50th goal was absolute perfection. From his traditional "Le tir et le but!!!" (the shot, and the goal!) to his enumeration of previous 50-goal scorers in Habs history "De Maurice, à Boom Boom, à Guy, à Steve, à Pierre, à Stephane, à Cole!"  and the mention that the torch has been passed (Le flambeau est passé!), everything was there.
