    Is 5 games max for phone hearing? If so I’d be surprised if it was anything less. Brutal hit.

    We love gally’s grit but that was so not cool. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt since I’m biased, maybe it went too fast for him as he committed to the check. Hope he sits some games out and clears his head. He’s gotta be a better example for the younger guys.

    Damn, so season long suspension is off, fuck 🙁

    Personally I’m glad he’s out of the lineup, I think his time is over.

    Gallagher better be sending Pelech a 20 year old Scotch

    As Reggie Dunlop once said: “I can’t control them anymore, they gotta be punish. Would you do me a favor and put them behind bars!?”

  7. This was a very bad and dirty hit. I’m very surprised Gallagher would do this. I wonder if it was retaliation for something earlier. But regardless this should get a long suspension.

  8. I might be the only one who wish that the suspension is as long as possible, so Ylonen has a chance to play.

    Who cares. Bench him for the rest of the season.

    I love Gally, I really do, but man is it hard to watch him play out there. Sometimes I watch old highlights from him so I can remember why we actually liked this guy.

    Even if the league doesn’t suspend him, St. Louis should make him a healthy scratch for at least 2 games. It was a bonehead play that almost cost us the game.

    Concerning everyone shitting on how he’s played this year, I like what I’ve seen from him this season vs last. That hit was dirty and he deserves at least 5 games, but despite being kinda ratty, I can’t think of a time when he’s been downright dirty. Either way, I’m ok with whatever suspension he gets, can’t justify that kind of Scott Stevens head hunting.

    Dude is awful. One of the most overrated Habs in history. Hockey IQ in the single digits.
    Look!
    He’s hustling without any idea what he’s doing! He gets up when he gets knocked down 3 times per shift!

    Absolute scumbag hit. He should be forced to retire.
    ok, that’s enough. sorry.

    I expect 2 games. Being thrown out of a game usually has an impact on the length as they take that to be a game you’ve already been punished, I don’t think it was malicious (I think he expected Pelech to stand and it would be more of a chest hit but that doesn’t excuse the hit, shouldn’t have thrown it), and this would be his first offense.

    Hopefully it’s for 5 games. Gally is the worst player on the ice most nights.

    Pls make him sit out for the rest of us contract pls and thank you.
