Brendan Gallagher tries to convert a Leafs fan with kindness

The Habs got completely destroyed last night at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, but a cute moment between Brendan Gallagher and a Leafs fan was captured during the pregame practice. Gallagher can be seen lifting a puck over the glass to give it to a kid in a Leafs jersey; he then points to his Habs jersey, implying that the little Leafs fan should now cheer for the Habs during the game instead.

As @KyHossKitty put it on Twitter, “My boy’s out here doin the Lord’s work tryin to save these youngins from being raised Leafs fans.”

The Montreal Canadians absolutely could have used the extra support last night, losing 6–2 and getting outshot 44-22.

Check out the video of the exchange below.
