While we're relieved that the Montreal Canadiens' three-goalie dilemma has finally come to an end, it's impossible not to spare a thought for Jake Allen and his family.
The veteran goalie was an exceptional teammate and member of the Canadiens during his four seasons in Montreal.
He has mentioned numerous times how much he loved playing here and how grateful he was for the opportunity to wear the Canadiens jersey during his career.
In connection with the recent trade sending him to New Jersey, Shannon Allen has broken her silence for the first time with an extremely emotional announcement.
It seems that the number 34's sentiment towards the organization was shared by his family as well, and it's heartbreaking to have to say goodbye.
Allen leaves a beautiful legacy within the CH, and we wish him the best with the Devils.
