Gallagher did look better than his last game where he could practically do nothing useful on the ice.
No doubt the clock is thinking and there is barely any effectiveness left to his game, but he wasn’t bad last night. He did win some battles and didn’t mess up badly.
If he can win his fair share of battles and just go around the net (which we don’t see as much anymore) he will at least not be a nuisance. Even if I expect him to have a lot problems this year.
I don’t think Monahan should be the “guy” on his line. They need to put him in a role where he’s the glue guy and helps that line take an other level.
