“Josh Anderson to Temporarily Step Away From Canadiens to Support Partner Ahead of Child’s Birth, as Fans and Teammates Respectfully Send Their Well Wishes During This Meaningful and Personal Milestone in the Forward’s Life and Career With the Montreal Organization”
Here’s further proof that something special is happening within the Montreal Canadiens organization right now.
We already knew that Brendan Gallagher is a true inspiration for his team, for reasons you’re well aware of, but now we’ve also just learned something noteworthy about Not only is he playing while seriously hurt/injured, but he’s also playing knowing that his wife could literally go into labor at any moment. Wow.
“Josh Anderson saying after game that his wife is due to give birth any day now.
With that in back of his mind, coupled with injury he has been playing through, it makes his recent play even more impressive.”

Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher inspire their teammates
It’s truly incredible!
The guys are willing to make so many sacrifices and concessions for the Habs logo and to help the team earn as many points as possible in the standings.
They’re the real deal!
So don’t be surprised if, in the next few hours, we learn that Josh Anderson is suddenly stepping away from the team for personal reasons.
It will clearly be for this reason and the upcoming birth of his child.
That’s how the Canadiens had announced the news when Brendan Gallagher’s wife gave birth to their baby girl.
We’re sending a huge wave of positive energy to Josh Anderson and his wife, Paola Finizio, ahead of this big moment, and of course hoping everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Just a reminder, the Canadiens are back in action tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at the Bell Centre, as the Philadelphia Flyers come to town.
