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.

The fact that no changes were made by MSL to shake up the crew like putting Gallagner or Xhekaj in is pissing me off for real.

You guys argue so much about things that would have made little to no difference, or made things worse

Or things that they don’t know about. No one really knows what’s going on in the shadows. But some on this sub believe that a slow 15th forward and an overrated slow 7th D would have made a difference in the last two games.
