There were several big names last night at the Bell Centre for this Saturday game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There were important scouts, public personalities, and of course several major NHL journalists and insiders.
This was notably the case for the well-known David Pagnotta, from The Fourth Period, who really seemed to enjoy the show after making the trip to Montreal.
However, the journalist saw something he had never seen before in the NHL, and it happened immediately after the fight involving young Florian Xhekaj.
Montreal Canadiens players all went to see Florian Xhekaj at the penalty box after his fight
That says a lot about how much they appreciate young Xhekaj, and it's clear that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton took note!
"Haven't seen this before, pretty much the entire Habs roster has gone to the penalty box to dap Xhekaj for that scrap."

If you ask me, even Kaiden Guhle looked like he was about to come down from the press box to congratulate Florian right at the penalty box.
When people say something special is happening with the Montreal Canadiens, here is proof! Even Pagnotta couldn't get over that team spirit.
In the end, it gave the team a real boost, and the Canadiens went on to win 5-2, earning a big home victory over a division rival.
We also witnessed a special moment in the Canadiens locker room after the important win against the Maple Leafs.
And to top it all off, Florian also picked up his first point in his first NHL game.
