In the NHL Brendan Gallagher is a feisty little winger who likes to go to the big areas only to get beaten up. From fights, board battles, to hits Gallagher is a guy that never really wins them but never really gives up either. However your reputation can really change if you deliver a thunderous hit that has a long term affect on someone and the little 5"8 winger Gallagher did that to a player half a foot bigger than him.
As you can see in the picture the Canadian fan's reaction says it all. Gallagher literally sent 6"3 Tommi Kivisto flying with a big hit. The finnish defense man crashed down on the ice and gingerly made his way to the bench with Gallagher skating away. Tommi Kivisto suffered a lower body injury and 2 years later he said last week in an interview that his lower body still hurts quite a lot and that's why his stats have really dipped in the last 2 years whereas Gallagher has become a 30 goal scorer and has trashed a Finnish defense man's career for now. Does Gally always play like this or no?
