Until what age tho?

I'm kidding, also not kidding

Legit concern:

Mike Richards effect. Smaller player with the heart of a warrior and no quit to his game. Played a ton of games in a short span, played hard and dealt with injuries. He's lost his speed and is innefective at the age of 29. I hope Gallagher doesn't find himself in the same situation.

Gotta get the puck out against the Rangers when it comes around the half wall.

Didn't we learn that lesson last playoffs?

Small or not, Komisarek effect. Playing a game that takes punishment regardless of size can give you a shorter shelf life. Why do you think Lucic has toned down his physical game? He knows he won't last long otherwise.

I don't think partying it up would have a dramatic effect, like we've seen with Richards. His reduction in play is a product of playing tons of games in three years the way he plays the game, and dealing with injuries.
