Chivalry is not dead.

Here’s the play that Moulson jokes in this islanders.com story could cost him the Lady Byng.

My favorite part is Moulson explaining himself to the refs and (presumably) apologizing for the inconvenience. (“I’m truly sorry you guys had to see that – it won’t happen again.”) He’s probably also pleading for them to let him clean up his own gloves, helmet and stick.

On the ice, in addition to defending the honor of his teammates, Moulson has been known to hold open the bench door for incoming players and he always waits to drink water until everyone on the bench has been served.

Off the ice, Moulson is careful to always walk on the outside of the sidewalk and at the team meal, he knowingly works his way in from the smallest fork to the largest.

A gentleman, indeed.
