We're all thinking of you, Gord.https://t.co/3VKPeuqsCF
Hockey Night in Canada paid tribute to Gord Downie before Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final on Tuesday night.
The opening montage featured clips of the Tragically Hip frontman and highlights from the series set to "Courage (For Hugh MacLennan)."
Downie, a rock legend and die-hard Boston Bruins fan, is on the minds of many Canadians following Tuesday morning's revelation that he was diagnosed with a terminal form of brain cancer.
Kudos to Sportsnet for putting this together on relatively short notice.
