I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than 5 games. He willfully had to contort himself/reach/elevate to connect his elbow to that guys head.

BCHabnut Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Has he ever been suspended? If not, 2 to 5. If he has maybe more than 5. That was a terrible hit. Blind side, couldn't get the hit, so elbow right to the chops. Just brutal.deserving of 5 games regardless of history imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 That offensive explosion was fun to watch. Gallagher really shit the bed with that senseless head shot, and yes he needs to pick up the tab for his teammates some night in exchange for bailing him out.

We’ll, that’s one way to get him out of the lineup🙄 wifi must be thinking I get sent down with penalties 10% as bad as this, and some old washed up old guy could have cost us the game and he’ll be back in after serving his suspension. having said that - I totally supported wifi being sent down. Just see Gallagher’s action as really selfish and dumb from a leader who where’s an “A”. He’s not adding anything offensively, the least that he can do is not take such a blatant idiotic penalty when we are finally up after a really pathetic losing streak. on the other hand, maybe it was an elbow to help the Celebrini lottery odds? The Sens are getting close, must not pick up any more points… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the f**k knows With any other team I’d agree. But it’s Montreal. And it’s Gallagher. I expect they’ll throw the book depending on how his past suspension history is.

NOT suggesting this is happening but perhaps that hopper has many more Chicago balls than it should for example. I wonder if the supervisor counts the balls as they go in to ensure that proper odds are represented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 14 balls that go in the machine, numbered 1-14 and yes, they're carefully observed as they go in. The league actually has started posting the actual lottery draw, here's the 2022 one that Montreal won: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Never expected a cheap shot like this from Gallagher, very disappointed. He will get 3-5 games. And Monahan, on a 58 point pace. Please stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id even consider stripping his A for a bit as punishment when he comes back, a leader can't do that. That said, while hes still overpaid Gallagher has been better overall this season than last. On Xhekaj, In two games since being back he has taken 3 minors. St. Louis was asked about this in his presser last night and he wasnt happy with that either. He cant be taking minors every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he goes and takes THE stupidest, worst, most inexcusable penalty of the entire season. I’m disappointed he’s getting 5 or less. This kind of crap should receive huge suspensions. What if some bum does that to Suzuki? A complete disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they do so much business is an impeccable reputation in the financial industry. Rigging a draft lottery that they put their name on damages that reputation. No one wants to do financial business with a company that does fraud for bribes. Quite simply the NHL couldnt afford what it would cost to get a bribe to fix this. The league also.releases full video of the lottery after its over. Quite simply, these tinfoil hat conspiracies of rigging the lottery are complete and utter B.S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay it now, in years you arent competing and then see if you buy it out or trade it with fewer years remaining, but hes here next season too as the value of eating a year is worth more than stretching it out to double the length into years we want to compete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, thanks. My granular grasp of contractual matters is not good. I gather that even burying him in the minors would not give us all that much cap relief (a change to the original cap CBA logic that does not make much sense to me, but what do I know). The thought of watching Gally wheeze around as a shadow of himself for at least another two years is slightly depressing…although in purely hockey terms he’s not absolutely terrible yet. But last night’s action really lowers him in my esteem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the penalty on Evans was funny. He was being held, which wasn’t called, and when he grabbed the stick to free himself, he got called for holding the stick. That’s a botched call. It should of both been called, neither, or a penalty on the islanders. it the equivalent of being called for playing with a broken stick after immediately having your stick broke by a slash. Or being called for diving after being tripped. The second penalty was a result of the first penalty, but the second one is the only one called.

Commandant Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Yeah sending him to the minors saves just over a million in cap hit. When you add in a league minimum (or slightly more) call up as a replacement, the savings is a few hundred grand at best. And if your replacement is over a million it becomes virtually nothing saved.

With Gallagher having a full NMC, he'd have to waive it to even be put on waivers for assignment to the AHL. I can't see him doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
