Several NHL players were in attendance, including Cole Caufield who just made another strong gesture for Johnny Gaudreau's family.
Among the attendees were Patrik Laine and Michael Matheson.
Also present were Martin St-Louis and Jeff Gorton from the Montreal Canadiens.
Let's get back to Cole Caufield, who was visibly close to the Gaudreau family and must be deeply shaken at this moment.
As Caufield arrived for his good friend's funeral, on this incredibly difficult and emotional day, here's what happened (watch with sound):
This is so true.
I can't believe a journalist thought it was appropriate to 'shout' at Cole Caufield as he arrived at his friend's funeral with other friends, just to get a statement from him.
The video is causing a big reaction on social media right now, specifically for this reason, and the comments are in the same vein.
The look Caufield gives him (in the video) says it all.
It was definitely not the right time to approach Cole for a statement or anything else.
Especially in these circumstances, let's leave the players in peace!
