Brendan Gallagher laments his missed Tom Brady opportunity
Although NHL players are professional athletes, they can still get star-struck by famous athletes from other sports. Case in point: the Montreal Canadiens and their minor obsession with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
The Canadiens all seemed eager for a chance to meet Brady when they played the Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium, the home of the Patriots.
