GDT: Game 71: Tampa Bay Lightning vs Montreal Canadiens 3/21/23 7:00pm EST- TSN2, RDS (HD), TSN 690

Odds that Gallagher gets gassed after a 30 second shitf? Who would have thought that the "short offseason" argument was nonsense!

I am convinced if he had been better at pretending he’s not gassed other teams would not have broken out against him as much all these years following one of his grindy-heroic-up-the-boards-shoot-crash sequences and would have chosen a lime change more often.

 

[LaP]

Better handles than Gallagher.

I always thought the late blomer thing was a myth but good lord Gallagher improved a lot since coming back form his injury. He's a transformed player. The speed. The skills. The Hands. And the shot ... wow the shot ... how in hell did he improve so much. All this was not there 2 years ago. Impressive.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I guess they want to ease him in, but Dach on the wing while Drouin is down the middle hurts my soul a little bit

Don't worry, high probability he doesn't finish the game.

That's plenty of time for TSN2 to shove Gallagher down our throats. Trying to sell us about his importance in the lineup and that he's the "heart and soul" of the team.

They will present us a graph showing how much his injury impacted the team and our win/lose record without him in the lineup even if it doesn't have any correlation whatsoever.

They might even award him the 1st star of the game just because he got into a hissy fit late in the game.

They want to get Suzuki going after months of playing with scrubs. An 8 million dollar 60 point centre is not a good look.

Harvey-Pinard - Suzuki - Anderson
Hoffman - Dach - Gallagher
Pitlick - Drouin - Gurianov
Tierney - Belzile - Pezzetta

Matheson - Savard
Edmundson - Kovacevic
Barron - Wideman

 

[Tyson]

Watching Dach is one of the few reasons to tune in. Maybe he and Gurianov find chemistry.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Unfortunately even in these awful seasons we win more games with him in the line up coincidence or otherwise

Also what is Gallagher's deal? He has a couple non contact practice and is suddenly good to go? I don't get it l

Don’t worry too much he will be injured again in the first period

Good point. I'd still like to see Dach between Gurianov and Anderson. That's a LOT of meat to handle on one line.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I bet Wideman scores his first of the season tonight because why not

Punished Gurianov.

 

[River Meadow]

Go Habs Go!

We are still mathematically able to make the playoffs.

Let's prove the haters wrong!

 

[schwang26]

I thought for sure they'd ease Drouin back into the lineup

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

his primary teammate his missing and he's been playing with ahlers and now a 3rd line center.

Not really worried for that tbh

 

[ArtPeur]

How long until fans bolt out of the Bell Centre tonight?

 

[Nicko999]

Great... Dach is back just in time for the team to go on a run with couple of useless wins.

Wait til you see him on the powerplay.
Then you'll REALLY remember how much you hate him..

It's incredible we are stuck 4 more years with this guy..

But take solace in the fact he probably misses 60-70% of the remaining contract playing time
(He also helps the tank.. when we want to tank, but are we tanking next year..)

He's a team guy. I'm still hoping at some point he realizes it's best to stop fighting through all the injuries and go on LTIR.

If not I think he's getting bought out in summer 2025.

 

[BLONG7]

Gallagher back? Good news for the tank!

Thinking he will take a shot in the hand from one of our Dmen, and be on LTIR the rest of the season.....
as mentioned he is good for the tank....

 

[BLONG7]

I thought for sure they'd ease Drouin back into the lineup

They have been easing him in, for 6 years now....

 

[Habs]

what are the vegas odds Gallagher takes a crease violation, hooking or slashing penalty then proceeds with a look of absolute astonishment on his way to the box?

 

[LesHabitants]

Dach back bad, Gallagher back good (for the tank)

 

[The Great Weal]

I miss those behind the net shots from Gally

 

[Runner77]

How long until fans bolt out of the Bell Centre tonight?

You mean ... like this?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Did MSL explain the reasoning to put Dach on wing?
