Canadians lost this due to Gallagher. They had momentum built after the Gionta goal, but his penalty with 1 minute left in the second allowed the Jets to regroup & having an extra man going into the third gave the Jets to take the lead. His next penalty with 6 minutes left when the Jets were on their heals again provided Winnipeg time to breathe and regroup.

As for the controversial last minute:
1) Gallagher's first inclination should have been to clear the zone. He didn't. Skating through the crease, behind Montoya was certainly not the fastest exit path. He did this in the attempt to draw a penalty, get a whistle & create a PP with an o-zone faceoff. Not the worst of ideas with so little time left on the clock.
Almost worked! But he clearly interferes with Montoya, so lets start this breakdown of events by giving Gallagher the penalty, one he deserved & what would have been his fourth of the game.
Montoya then clearly gives him some stick work. Let's add to the penalties, Montoya gets one. Coincidental minors? Likely but we're not done.
Bogosian comes to the aid of his goaltender & interferes with Gallagher, who is standing against the goal post & then clearly embellishes the incident, so coincidental minors again.
As Gallagher attempts to stand & he skates himself into a quick thinking and WELL positioned Trouba as he attempts to finally leave the zone.
In a perfect world, all penalties end up neutralized. A pretty unbiased description of the events as they unfolded.
As a result of his "feisty" play, valuable time was being knocked off the clock while this incident played out.....& that's all on Gallagher, not the Jets or the officials.
There's a difference between being a hard working player & being a ***** disturber.
Lesson Gallagher should be taking is to clear the zone when offside, that refs have memories & that karma is a b*tch!
