We need to talk about this wonderful moment from the Montreal Canadiens and Brendan Gallagher. We’ll talk all that and more on today’s NHL hockey video.
I'm a Leaf fan since birth… i have deep hatred from the habs on-ice. It's also objectively true that they are one of the best run franchises in all sports. I respect them as much or more than any team in any league.
Beautiful gesture from the Habs fan! I'm a Rangers fan but in all honesty this Ranger team doesn't even deserve a 4-game post-season… it's going to be a pretty 'mid' team in the WC2 spot – why not the Habs? Nothing sounds like the Bell come play-off time
Wild to me that the NHL has stopped doing things like Cancer jerseys, pride jerseys, military appreciation, Indigenous, special event jerseys, etc look whether you agree with whatever special jersey they wear. It was only during warmup and not during gametime. The franchise itself should at least be allowed to choose if they want to or not. The NHL has always been a for all type of sport, doing these things were special, maybe not to YOU that night BUT to people. To me that is heartbreaking that some people never get to see their what they value or themselves represented in a sport that we all LOVE and want to see thrive.
I really hope they change that and bring back these things. Utterly sad and ESPECIALLY the cancer research one.
Leafs fan here, however I’m a huge fan of the way Brendan plays the game. NOBODY plays with more heart and try, hopefully he’s handling his mom’s passing…
This is not just typical of the Habs. Hockey has a rich history of kind and unselfish acts of teams and individual players. Many opponents on other teams are hated on the ice throughout the league and yet perform wonderful deeds with friends, family and community. I think hockey brings that out more than other sports (excluding Shaq, of course)
Thanks for covering this. I saw that Jersey posted on Reddit, but didn’t get the significance and didn’t want to explore swampy comments. This is really touching!
I could barley do homework after my dog passed. The fact that these players can play after they lose a loved one, hockey players are a different breed.
Brendan Gallagher is by far the greatest warrior the Habs have had in recent history. He has given so much to the team, constantly sacrificing his body. He may not be the most skilled player, but he will undoubtedly be remembered as a true warrior for the Habs.
Hats off to the fan. A very classy thing to do. Further proof of how awesome hockey fans are. A very classy return gesture by Gallagher as well. I love this idea.
Love the habs, and Love the Gallaghers. Don’t know them personally, but having played high level hockey in BC I had many friends that played for Brendans dad. So much love going out to them. Props to the habs for always keeping it real.
It’s not the last HFC jersey…maybe Montreal…I know the Blues and Utah both had HFC nights this year and auctioned their warm up jerseys. That said, I know that’s not the point of this video and super cool of the fan to offer and Gallagher to reciprocate.
Habs are honestly one of the more entertaining teams to watch right now. Been quite a ride for them since starting the rebuild. Nice to see it all come together, unlike detroit! 🤫😅
0:19 what is that cap? It's one thing we see the letters from right to left… that might just a flipped video.. But WHY are the letters upside down as well? (edit: I suppose there is some story or symbolic meaning there as well, so if anybody can explain…)
I was at the isles game, it was hard watching him, skating off on his own during stoppages clearly in his head and then going right to the bench and putting his head down, praying for his peace 🙂
I lived in Montreal for about a year in '95-''96, which was sadly the last year of the old Forum being played in, and I'm glad that I got to see a game there. You can say what you want about the Habs, but their fan base is incredible. Most electrifying building I've ever seen live hockey in, and I'm sure that this game, and ceremony, will be incredible.
Elon Musk gets 20 bucks off every dip shit and proclaims them free….whatevs….but did you see Podkolzins penalty on Elecksiak at the end of the Seattle game…."Totally Necessary"…..I love your spin Bro….
If not for the 4 nations face off the NHL has done an absolutely HORRENDOUS JOB the past few years. And if they keep doing a bad job it’ll turn into the NBA which has shit ratings rn

Doesnt matter what team you cheer for
Cancer is our common enemy

ALL of the theme jerseys will return one day when the negative publicity moves on to the next threat to civilization.

I love my mom ❤❤❤ so sry Gallagher
It might go down after the game, Montreal has a new tradition to do a jersey swap with fans at the end of the season

battle battle battle.
Stay classy Montreal. These are the moments that make sports beautiful to watch and be apart of 🥹

The NHL will support pride, but not cancer? Shameful.
Man I love and hate it when hockey makes me cry
Saw a french interview, she paid $1500 for it back in the day.
And he just welcomed into the world a daughter

big ups hab fans. From a leaf fan.
Chapeau to the lady on X, this is beautiful – both from a personal standpoint as well as a marketing standpoint. Everybody wins!

Never been a fan of Gallagher but sucks to see his mom pass 🙁
Stupid NHL keeps doing pride stuff but gets rid of Hockey Fights Cancer?! 😡
Hats off to the fan. A very classy thing to do. Further proof of how awesome hockey fans are. A very classy return gesture by Gallagher as well. I love this idea.
I think they said it would be a part of the jersey off the backs event after the game that a lot of teams do and Lucie would be paired with Gally
Rip

Not newsworthy imo but pretty cool I guess.

F cancer
All class. The organization, the player and the fan.
best hockey story of the year

Decades long Bruins fan, and I hate Gallagher like Habs fans hate Marchand. Love this story. God bless your mom Brendan.

Stick tap to the fan that came up with this idea. Condolences to Brendan and the Gallagher family.
Sincerely,
A Rangers fan.
Let Gallagher Wear the Jersey, Should still let teams use them, Doesn’t offend anyone
There's far more important things in life than winning a hockey game. RIP Della
