Player Discussion Brendan Gallagher suspended 5 games

[le_sean]

I think the NHL should have made an example of him and voided the rest of his contract.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I think he gets more just because of risk of lawsuit over protecting players head.

Since when does the NHL care about that?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

It's not quite Bure on Churla level, but it's definitely one of the sicker elbows to the head I've seen Dude took 100% of the contact with his damn face.

 

[Colezuki]

It'll be 5, they'll cite his long history without suspension but the nature of the hit requires significant punishment

 

[calder candidate]

-21, loss of skills, speed. A total NMC which means he can't be waived and buried.
This contract is aging poorly and very quickly.

The only realistic option has to be a buy out at this point.

WTF was Molson and Bergevin thinking?

This contract was bad on day one, don’t remember anyone beside MB to think it was a good contract even at the time

 

[sampollock]

THROW the book at him. clown

 

[schwang26]

This contract was bad on day one, don’t remember anyone beside MB to think it was a good contract even at the time

And to think, they might have gotten a decent return had they traded him instead

 

[Tyson]

Man I hope they are seriously considering buying out this contract.

Man I hope they are seriously considering buying out this contract.

Not a cap savvy.....but how much would that mean?

 

[Habs13]

If the league really wants to punish him they should give him a ten games suspension where we are forced to play him 25 minutes a night

That doesn't punish him... it punishes us

 

[Habs]

If that was against a Hab I would want 10 games, so nothing less for this little rat turd. Has he started spewing out the usual excuses for throwing the chicken wing? 'I'm not a dirty player, just a reaction, I don't want to see anyone go down like that' gtfo out of here with your awful contract

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

"no more than 5 games" at least DPOS is consistent in their ****tiness

When do we next play the Isles maybe Gallagher will have to respond to the unwritten rule like Byron did which may hasten his demise.

 

[The Great Weal]

With the cap going up a 2.17 million dead cap hit for 3 years is manageable, but I don't see us being in a rush to buy him out given that we won't be competitive anytime soon.

I don't know if Mr. Molson agrees, but honestly I'd pay 2.1M/year into 2030 to get rid of this clown and his clown contract.

I think it'll depend on the drama factor of turning gally into a pressbox regular. Hughes might not want the bad PR, otherwise I completely agree.

 

[JianYang]

I don't recall Gallagher ever being suspended before. Correct me if wrong.

That might have been the difference between a phone hearing and in person because he was probably skirting the boundaries on this one.

 

[The Great Weal]

I'm still hoping they convince him to just be on LTIRetirement. It would save his image and not hurt us down the line. Unfortunately, I think he's too stubborn to call it quits.

You aren't.

But still, his history should mean he's getting something like 8 games instead of 10.
(If I was DOPS that's a clear 15-game hit)

LTIRement + scouting job.

He's prideful too, though. You can go out as a guy who fought tooth and nail your entire career and then had to bow out like Weber/Price, or you can be pressbox fodder and a distraction to the organization until you're gone.

He deserves a good beatdown

I think an Isles player will beat the shit out of him next game anyways. That could be the final nail in the coffin.

Ha I totally remember that hit lol, good memory thanks I was at the game!
