Montreal Canadiens Cole Caufield Honors Fallen Johnny Gaudreau Against Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday
Canadiens star forward Cole Caufield honors Johnny Gaudreau in many ways on Wednesday nights game against Toronto Maple Leafs in Montreal
The Montreal Canadiens faced the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night and the Canadiens' highest paid forward, and most stud-talented, Cole Caufield, decided to change his jersey number to #13 prior to the season starting to honor the fallen Johnny Gaudreau, who was tragically struck and killed by drunk driver Sean Higgins earlier in the NHL off-season.
Caufield came out with fire while repping #13, and made sure to make Johnny proud- scoring his first goal in the Canadiens first game of the season against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Earlier in Caufield's career, he used to wear #13 to show love for his favorite player at the time, Johnny Gaudreau, both Johnny and Cole have a lot in common- they were both doubted throughout their hockey careers due to their size, but have still overcame the odds against them.
While the heated rivalry between the Canadiens and Maple Leafs continue to thrive, moments like these- that are bigger than hockey, tend to overcome the hatred throughout the rival to see the bigger picture.
