My lasting memory of gill is laying down low like a canoe during 5 on 3s... And it worked.

That, and driving Crosby bat**** crazy in 2010.

Haha no doubt. Have you noticed that Mike Weaver started doing this this year. I don't think he really did it last year but all of a sudden he was doing The Gill Kill on a regular basis this year. It didn't work as well for him for some reasonn

 

[Gainesvillain]

Tremendous playoff performer. I'll always remember his huge role in those series against Was and Pit.

He was great for the Habs when the team needed him most. Loved that he could do whatever he wanted to Crosby in the playoffs and get away with it.

He was money in 5 on 3s.

 

[Frankenheimer]

Loved Gill. Just a great guy.

Ol Clutch and Grab.

He could be absolutely awful in the regular season, but so strong in the playoffs. That 2010 run he was fantastic. And, a big YES to those one man penalty killer comments.

Subban tweeted his retirement news with a #truementor" tag. No question he was great with Subban. He developed really well under Gill's tutelage. He should be a coach. Understood the game really well he just wasn't very skilled. He had a great career for a guy who couldn't skate.

Hall Jill will be missed

Pk gives him a lot of credit for helping him out in his first season and making him the player he is today. For that alone he deserves our thanks. Them shutting Crosby down together in the playoffs was a great moment indeed

That was actually the 3 headed Gill/Spacek/Gorges monster.

Subban was certainly not given that responsibility in his first handful of NHL games haha.

 

[Scintillating10]

He was outstanding in his role during 2010 playoffs. Him and Dominc Moore...which we had acquired them earlier in their career

Hal was the man. I'd be happy if he joined the coaching staff

That's weird, I seem to remember him and Gill getting a lot of the tough minutes in 2010. It's been a while though, I guess I remember wrong.
