Recalled/Assigned: Isles Callup Brett Gallant

[sebsisles]

]Maybe he'll dance with Neil tonight - we all know Martin would never [/B]dare.

With Neil and Kassian in the line up, you need someone to potentially drop the gloves in case it's needed. Halmo showed a lot of heart going up against Wilson but not sure he can do what Gallant can/would do.

Plus, the kid has earned a shot at playing with the big club - he's put in his time.

neil is a spot fighter, i don't think he would dare drop the gloves with martin. not defending martin tho bc he hasn't dropped the gloves much this year

I really don't think he needed too drop the gloves this year as much as well. When have you honestly said too yourself during a game "MM really should have danced with someone and didn't" Think hard, think long, it's a darn good question. Also we blew how many leads? Did you want MM fighting up a goal or 2 or 3?

i never said i wanted him dropping the gloves with any lead, someone suggested a neil martin fight and i simply said neil is a spot fighter...which he is and that martin hasn't dropped the gloves all that often this season.

Dues payer who deserves a call-up. Hope he get's in the line-up.

Might be related to Gerard Gallant. Summerside, Prince Edward Island, is not that big.

Not that big nope, but Gallant is probably the most common name on PEI. Don't think they are related. Wonder how Kassians nose is.......TKO

Gerard was a tough cookie also.

Kassian was cut under his right eye, will have a nice souvenir from his first meeting with Gallant. If I was Garth I would sign him again next season on an Islander 2 way contract just so none of our guys have to dance with him. Would be a good call up and tandem with Bolts for Flyer games.

It was a Knock down not knock out.


Still a beautiful shot that made the legs go right out. Couldn't believe Kassian poped right back up. Gallant is the real deal. I don't think we will see him much next year though because Boulton will be here. I don't see the point in having to enforcers.

You're right. Thousands of Gallants. Brett is not related, at least not closely, to Gerard. He is also not related to Gord Gallant, who was a World Hockey Association enforcer in the 70s.

Brett's father is Mike "Pinky" Gallant, who was apparently a tough playing in a PEI league in the 70s. Brett has two brothers, Brad and Alex, who are also hockey players.

That's just crazy. Reminds me of Joey Kocur. A middleweight with hands of stone, just crushed people. Gallant's right is lethal.
