Cole Caufield was dominant tonight.

Playing in a full Bell Centre for the first time in his life, the young Canadien was one of his team’s driving forces – and one of the reasons for the 6-3 victory.

He had two points, including a goal, and was involved on the ice. His 11 shots on goal (a franchise record in the playoffs) are proof of that.

You won’t be surprised to learn that he thought the game was pretty crazy, much like everyone else. But what happened after the game must have been crazy for him too.

Why do I say that?

I say that because, according to Renaud Lavoie, Johnny Gaudreau’s father, Guy, was in Montreal for the game. And after the game, he met with #13 of the Montreal Canadiens.

That must have been special.

Caufield and Johnny Gaudreau were good friends. The Canadiens player changed his #22 to wear Gaudreau’s #13 following the latter’s death.

He is the only NHL player to have done so.

The former player of the Blue Jackets, the last club that could have prevented the CH from making the playoffs, was a great player and capable of pulling off one like the one Caufield had in his body tonight.

I’m sure Guy Gaudreau put in a good word for the CH’s little forward.

– Yes, he did.

– Eh boy.

– Nothing less.
