It was an emotional night in Boston as the Bruins honored two firefighters who lost their lives in a 9-alarm blaze on Wednesday.

Lt. Edward Walsh and firefighter Michael Kennedy were searching a building for occupants when they radioed announcing the two became trapped, according to the New York Daily News. The two men were unable to be saved despite being pulled from the building.

From this video you can’t even hear a pin drop in the normally raucous TD Garden, and the Bruins took it one step further with another touching tribute after the game.
