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.
