As the Habs face the Philadelphia Flyers tonight live from the Bell Centre, the organization will once again show its great class.
In an official statement, the Canadiens announced that, even though it's only a preseason game, a tribute will be made to Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau before the game.
Wow, hats off! The Canadiens have seized the first opportunity to pay tribute to the Gaudreau brothers.
See the official statement published for the occasion:
It will be a beautiful and touching moment.
Moreover, there could be a very special guest tonight at the Bell Centre, as Guy Gaudreau (the father of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau) was on the ice with the Philadelphia Flyers as a special guest.
Don't be surprised if he's present tonight. What courage!
Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau!
Earlier today, the Canadiens confirmed that Patrik Laine will make his debut with the team tonight:
