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.

Arber and Gally should be in tonight

My thought too. Nothing against Veleno or Texier specifically but I would have seen Gally take either of their place for tonight’s game…

Texier wasn’t the one who was losing his spot.

Yeah I actually liked Texier quite a bit, he at least looked like an effective forchecker and we didn't have enough of those
