Those numbers are averaged over the entire season, and you know that, so why would you offer this as a response?

Didn't like his game one but a solid rebound tonight.

Playing on a edge with passion and discipline. Habs need some others to follow the lead.

 

[S Bah]

One helluva game from Brendan tonight, fabulous Habs playoff performance and I've watched so many, "tour de force" Gallagher once again!!!...

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Tip of the hat for Mr. Gallagher. He was our best player tonight. Consistently involved in the play, drew a penalty (should've drawn more than one) and was a thorn in NY's side all game long. Best game I've seen from him in a long time.

Amazing performance tonight! We're not winning this game if not for Gally!

He's been getting progressively better for a few weeks now. Glad to see that contrary to many opinions here, he's not finished after all.

Gallagher was the Habs best player tonight. Great to see him bring it when we needed it the most.

Of course he's not finished. He's 24 years old. He was playing like a beast for a few weeks now. Just had some bad luck with injuries.

I hope he's not finished but it's a possibility. The league has gotten faster and faster over the last 3 seasons.

Gallagher is not a fast skater. It will affect his effectiveness.

 

[viceroy]

Man I wonder if he can perfect his goalie stick breaking maneuver. Hustle around the net and good things happen.

This year statistically was not a good one for Gallagher. But ever since the trade deadline, he's been vintage Gallagher. 17 GP - 4 G - 7 A - 11 PTS

Last year with an injury riddled season, he had 19 goals, 21 assists for 40 points in 53 games. But all things pointed to this being a career year had he not gotten hurt twice.

The year before he had a career year with 24 goals and 23 assists for 47 points.

And he does a lot of things that don't show on the score sheet thus making him even more effective.

Even if the league has gotten faster the last 3 years, he's still able to play. He is not finished.

I'm just glad we have a healthy Gallagher for our playoff run.
I fear that Gallagher is never gonna be a 82 game a year player or play 15 + years, just based on how he plays, but if he doesn't play that way, he is not nearly effective enough.

I'd rather get 2 more years of full-on Gallagher than 6 years of reserved Gallagher.

 

[Deebs]

We're lucky to have him and he's been our best forward so far.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

This guy has been an absolute warrior out there.

He's taking an absolute beating and gets back up and continues to work his ass off, nothing but respect for this kid.

 

[Tyson]

Easily the best Habs the entire series. Love this kid and his heart. A lot of fight in this dog

If Galchenyuk put in half the effort that Gallagher does, he'd be a hell of a player.

Pacioretty
Danault
Byron
Shaw
King
Beaulieu

So could these guys.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I'd say Byron and Shaw are working hard too, they just aren't getting results. Shaw impressed me with his hustle and scrap the last game.

 

[The Great Weal]

Pacioretty


So could these guys.

Fixed

 

[Roadhouse]

Here's to a healthy offseason for Brendan's hands... hopefully he and Chucky fully rebound from their injuries.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I'm really mad about some people who put Gallagher on third line...

Without injuries, he is a top 6 IMO.

 

[76]

Thought last season for whatever reason he was more slow, and tired faster than usual. Since the start of this camp, he looked a lot faster. Speed changes a lot in Gallagher's game. I expect a great comeback season for him.

 

[Belial]

Career year! Let's go Gally!
