The trailer for the behind-the-scenes documentary on the Montreal Canadiens’ rebuild has just been released. And honestly, it’s really excellent!
In the video, we notably see Kent Hughes immediately contacting Brendan Gallagher, and we’re truly excited to see all the footage from that brief meeting.
We can kind of guess what the topic was.
“Call Brendan Gallagher.”
– Kent Hughes
“How can you not be inspired by that guy!”
– Jeff Gorton
I really can’t wait to see more, but here’s the footage we have so far:
It’s clear that management places a lot of importance on him-and rightfully so!
Aside from Nick Suzuki and Gallagher, I don’t think many Canadiens players have had this kind of meeting with Kent Hughes.
Something Special Happened with Brendan Gallagher at the End of the Season
For now, we don’t know if it’s related to that meeting-we don’t even know if it happened before or after-but yes, something clearly special happened with Gallagher at the end of the season.
Number 11 went on an incredible 12-game run at the most important time of the season, during which he collected 13 points, including six goals!
At the most crucial stretch of the Montreal Canadiens’ season (aside from the playoffs), Gallagher recorded 13 points in 12 games, with six goals.
There were many contributing factors, but Gallagher was certainly one of the main reasons why the Montreal Canadiens surprised everyone in 2024-2025 by qualifying for the NHL playoffs.
The 33-year-old forward earns $6.5 million per year through 2027, and while that contract was once seen as a burden, it’s now looking like a very interesting deal for the Canadiens.
What a player-and what a teammate!
