We have seen some pretty nasty stuff said about Brendan Gallagher this year. Yes, he's overpaid. No, he's not performing up to par.
But no one works harder. He has given everything for this team, for you, fans. Have a little respect in your comments!

My thoughts are with the victim in this situation. May she find the strength, and later on, the help that she might need to relive this ordeal.
Matthews should buy dinner to the Toronto and Eastern Conference media as there is no way that he deserved the Hart ahead of McDavid. Put McDavid with the Leafs and Mr. Underpants with Edmonton and McDavid wins it in a landslide! He was robbed.

Gallagher can see the writing on the wall. Do the right thing, bud.
Gallagher originally wore

He's a leader, a respected veteran, who will be entering his 13th season with the

Yes, his production has dropped and he's not producing to his high salary, but he has earned our respect. He has bled heavily for the

I always liked Arber Xhekaj and was against trading him all along. For a while, I saw in him a 5th-6th dman who could protect his teammates.
Today, I definitely see top-4, 18-19 mins per game potential in him. This guy was undrafted. What a steal by Bergevin!

With only 2 points in his last 11 GP, those media are rather quiet, aren’t they? Looking at you, the Gazette and The Athletic...
Be patient with Reinbacher. Teenager, coming into a new country, new time zone, new league, new teammates, coaches & system, smaller ice… it will take a while to adjust.

I'm of the strong opinion that in no way, Brendan Gallagher should give up his

for a rookie coming in.
We're talking about a 12-year veteran, all with the

He's already given his number (73) to a vet coming back when he was young.
#GoHabsGo
I want to buy a Demidov jersey so bad but if you look closely at the little quiz he answered in Vegas, he does say his lucky number is 11.
I feel like Gally being the veteran he is will give him the number if he wants it.
I’ll probably still buy a Demidov
#91
though lol
If Carey Price had had any offensive support in his career, he would be much, much higher on this list. No doubt about it.
PS: He should be ahead of Belfour, IMO.

Allow me to go on record by saying that I am thrilled to see that Hughes valued what Savard represents to his young defensemen on the team.
