Oh for sure that's his game and what got him to the NHL, too. He must love it, or he wouldn't play that way. You make good points about the way Subban was treated, too, when he came into the league and I think you're bang on. I really wish Gallagher had some big and mean linemates with him that would accent the way he plays and prevent anybody from giving him the treatment he has been getting his whole career - and its getting worse. When he take a crosscheck to the back, into the net, two elbows to the face and multiple shoves on the way back to bench and nothing happens, you have a big problem on your team!
I like the Marchand comparison, too. Could you imagine how great Gallagher would be with Lucic and Horton as his line mates? Think he gets under peoples skin now?
His rookie season, he was on a line with Prust and Galchenyuk and it was the teams best line. But, that had to be broken up to shelter Desharnais.
No. Who was centering that line then ?
As for Marchand, he rarely played with Lucic and Horton...Once again, you forgot the centerman...
