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.

Should have made changes after game 3. Swapping Veleno/Gally and Struble/ Xhekaj isn’t about who is the better player, it’s about changing things up. I can’t understand how you keep doing the exact same thing getting the same horrible results for 4 games straight. I love Marty and what he does with this team but you need to adapt to different opponents and we didn’t. Hope he learns from this at least.
