Cole Caufield is currently in a relentless race to reach the prestigious 50-goal mark, but he remains, above all, a team-first player.
That was made very clear during tonight’s game against the New Jersey Devils.
Following a goal scored by defenseman Jayden Struble, Caufield’s reaction quickly caught fire on social media.
After Struble’s goal, the shared video clearly shows Caufield with a huge smile from ear to ear.
He was visibly and genuinely thrilled to see his teammate score, even though it was not his own 50th goal.
Undeniable chemistry in the Montreal Canadiens locker room, highlighted by Cole Caufield’s reaction
Even though he did not score his milestone 50th goal on that sequence, his pure joy was simply great to see.
This kind of spontaneous reaction says a lot about the excellent atmosphere currently surrounding the Canadiens’ locker room.
Martin St-Louis’ group is clearly a tight-knit team where individual success does not take priority over collective achievements.
Seeing players celebrate their teammates’ success with this much passion and enthusiasm proves that the organization’s culture is incredibly healthy right now.
No, you really do not see that everywhere in the NHL. Just ask New York Rangers fans, for example.
Fans are far from done growing attached to this group of young players who clearly enjoy playing together on the ice.
