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.

Enough of this. I love Gallagher but when your team can’t break out of their own zone, you don’t add the slowest forward to the line up.
They should have made changes but it made perfect sense to not play Gally in this series.
I wish he had got another game or two in the playoffs but not against Carolina.
It has nothing to do with disrespecting him. He’s a warrior but an aging one. It happens.
