I liked Gallagher's game in the past, but this is absolutely INEXCUSABLE. Super dirty hit. This should be a full season ban - and it might not even be enough of a punishment really. This play should not be a 5 game or something weak. Montreal is pretty much out of a playoff spot and Gallagher's suspension for the remainder of the season might not make much of an impact. IF Shane Pinto can get a half season ban for gambling, this hit SURELY deserves that, AT LEAST. I have no dogs in this race. I am simply calling a spade for a spade. On the plus side, LOTS of Habs fans are disgusted about this hit. They all agree on a suspension of some kind. Their fans are right. No one should be defending this kind of hit, regardless of the team. I'd 100 percent crucify any Canuck player if they did this crap. It's a dirty, indefensible hit. But 41 games? Come on. There is zero precident for that kind-of suspension for a hit like this. Gallagher has never been suspended before. It'll be 5-6 games. More than that and Gallagher will appeal, and win.

Actually there is a precedent. Aaron Rome (in the playoffs) got 4 games, which is a SIGNIFICANT amount of time when converted into season games. Rome also had not received any suspension. But since the whole wheel of justice is arbitrary at this point, there is no need for a precedent, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Gallagher gets a phone hearing, which means the max suspension is 5 games. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canadiens-gallagher-to-have-hearing-for-hit-to-head-on-islanders-pelech/ IMO, that seems light. Considering his history (or lack there of), I would've gone 8. There is no excuse for a hit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupid that players are allowed to get off light, because reputation when they do something this bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Too bad Roy didn't hop on the ice and go after Gallagher. The NHL needs to normalize longer suspensions for these types of hits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oils will lose eventually. Maybe during Perry's debut. Those head to head games between Nux vs VGK will be a big test and may decide the div title. Nux need to keep on winning and banking pts until they meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are better than any club in the league because our core is better and we have Demko.

You'll probs be right, I do expect we'll have a losing stretch at some point too, divisional match ups will be big We've also been uncharacteristically healthy this season 4 minutes ago, Dom said: The Kings are being massacred by the Avs. I am unabashedly rooting for Mac to win the Hart and Art Ross, Kucherov can screw off I hope he has another big night Edited January 27 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
