Player Discussion Brendan Gallagher: all heart, no hands

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.
15 games lol

try more like 4

if you handed 15 games, hitting would stop in the NHL, and it would become dull.

he deserves to be suspended and 4 should be suffice….

And what history are you talking about?? Screening goalies?

He’s like Emelin in the sense where they play or played the game hard and kept it pretty clean for multiple years, 80k in salary plus an eventual tilt with Pelech is punishment enough.
 
During the last minutes, Anthony Martineau confirmed important news concerning striker Brendan Gallagher .

Indeed, the number 11 of the Habs suddenly left his team's training, suggesting that he would very possibly receive a phone call from the NHL disciplinary committee due to his questionable gesture last night .

“Gallagher has just left suddenly. Everyone is still on the ice.” - Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports
 
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
Did he say that? An open ice flying elbow at full speed and he called it a reaction lol. He must be narcissistic to the core.
 
embarrassing a vet of the CH does this..
Gallagher never acquired that vet 'aura' that players get after 10+ years in the league. to me he still plays, acts, and most importantly gets treated by the rest of the league exactly like when he was a rookie. 'chip on your shoulder' can be a good thing when you're a rookie, but when you're 31 years old you just look immature as ****.

then on the other hand I look at Monahan, he's got it. plays slower, plays smarter, doesn't get into silly scrums, by all accounts is respected by refs and peers.

no sir, I'm just expecting he will spew out the usual quotes lol

I'd be cool with this costing him 20 games, to be honest. We want head shots taken out of the game, and this was clearly a headshot.

No, it wouldn't. It would possibly prevent chicken wings hits though, which bring nothing to the game and can barely be called physicality.

About history : I more meant "lackthereof".
 
Gallagher had a good start of the season playing with "pace" and effort, but he obviously can't play a full 82 games and still be efficient. It's time to start some "load management" and give him some nights off because it's not looking pretty right now
Yep. Good start and he’s dropped way off.

“It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.”
 
The problem was they weren't thinking.

This is what I posted on July 20, 2016:

My only problem with Gallagher is his physiology. In hockey parlance, Gallagher is a 'one and done' player. One foray up the ice and his effectiveness drop offs or declines more than any other player on the team. I know I will endure a significant amount of ridicule for this observation (similar to the invective that I had to endure for my observations over three years ago about Subban's diminished straight-line speed) but Gallagher's inherent lack of stamina will always limit his production. Gallagher also plays hard and fearlessly. As he ages, Gallagher's style of play and lack of size will make him much more likely to suffer injuries of an increasingly serious nature. This is a player with the heart of a lion. Unfortunately he lacks the physiology to make use of this greatest attribute.

On November 6, 2016, I posted:

Hardly. Gallagher has a very low level of stamina. He is your poster boy for the one and done player. Gallagher has great energy the first 20 - 30 seconds of his shift and then the drop off in his effectiveness (particularly on the backcheck) is quite noticeable. There is far too much skating responsibility imposed on a center for a player of his limited stamina.
A wise man once said some can see and comprehend the past, some the present and a few, even the future. By offering Gallagher that grotesque contract, it becomes apparent that the geniuses that managed the team had none of these abilities.

There is an old sport adage that it's better to trade a player one year too early than one year too late. In Gallagher's case, we missed that boat by a mere 8 years.

What sheer and utter incompetence. There's a reason we haven't won a Stanley Cup in over 30 years.
Well said Chester......
The Bergevin Rinse and Repeat Era lives on and unfortunately going to cost the team a huge buyout in Gallagher more than likely this summer.
 
First hearing in his 12-year NHL career.

DOPS is unpredictable.
The most he can get is 5 games. It's not an in person hearing. And Dopes again proves they are morons. Eve if he had never taken a penalty in his life it still should be an in peron hearing.

Dopes; The player was decapitated? It's a first offense? - Ok phone hearing.
 
I would like the NHL to set an example at some point. Thought they had the chance with Perron on Zub which was 6 games (for using the stick as a weapon after the play). Hard to see anyone getting more games then that, at least this season for an on ice incident. They create their own parameters.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Habs fans wish a home team player a maximum suspension. :laugh:

is the problem here the player's union? do they shape this ridiculously light suspension schema as part of their negotiations?

if their purpose is to protect player interests at all costs, and "player interest" is interpreted as earnings rather than player safety, then everything is working as intended from their POV.

Those are great questions. Where does the player's union stand on player safety? I find it's hard to tell.

It was a reaction. Why is it so hard to believe that a player with no suspension in 12 years in the NHL feels bad about a split second decision he made that harmed another player?

Should we assume that none of these witchhunters were watching hockey when Kovalev did this to Tucker? :laugh:
