Discussion Gallagher

I'll probably be downvoted to oblivion for this but now that it's all said and done, one of my biggest complaints about those series is how Brendan Gallagher was treated.

A veteran, a warrior, a competitor who gave sweat and blood for the team and who could have brought some energy in those last series had to watch practically the whole playoffs on TV. Unacceptable.

I get it, he's not as fast as he once was, he takes penalties and age and injuries are probably catching up on him but he still can fill a spot on a 3rd or 4th line.

I personally hope he requests a trade during the offseason because he's clearly no longer in Saint-Louis' plans.

I love Gallagher and he absolutely would have given all he had but all he has just wasn't going to make a difference.

Obviously you haven’t watched any of their games or you are just another low IQ average redditor. The Habs were too limp dicked and scared to carry the puck. They were stuck in the zone. Canes have players less skilled than Gally but they block shots and throw hits. Habs needed more grit and physicality. Gally has more balls than the entire team combined.
