A beautiful tribute to Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau was just paid at the Bell Centre before the game between the Canadiens and the Flyers.

No disruption during Johnny Gaudreau’s tribute at the Bell Centre
While Toronto Maple Leafs fans completely disrespected the Gaudreau family last night during the tribute at Scotiabank Arena, it was the complete opposite at the Bell Centre in the past few minutes.
Hats off to Habs fans for the total silence!
It’s special to say, but it’s rare to see something like that – such total silence during a tribute – and it speaks volumes about the immense respect we all have for the Gaudreau brothers and their wonderful family.
No, we didn’t hear anyone shouting «Go Leafs» or, in this case, «Go Habs Go» during the tribute, and that’s a very good thing.
