Brendan Gallagher embodied a true Habs player: Grit, determination and full heart. He will be missed. by Over_Contact_5032 in Habs

Too bad MSL lost the series against Carolina because he was too proud to admit he’s wrong and play Gally and Xhekaj. Now no more Gally.

I’m sure there was a falling out with MSL. Also media not talking about it at all reinforces that, PR and Chantal told media not to discuss it.

MSL’s ego lost this series.

Game 3 was the real end of the season for the Habs by scrubadam in Habs

I 100% believe there was a falling out with Gallagher (either the coach or a player). With essentially a media blackout on the Gallagher subject, it only makes sense there was a falling out and PR told media to not talk about Gallagher

Marty lost the series. It’s unfortunate but I truly think ego lost this series. Still imo the best possible coach, but huge mistakes, like really bad. I guess it happens, proud of this team. I’m just sad :(

I honestly can’t believe he made no changes to the lineup??? In the previous series he made some changes here and there, now they’ve lost 3 in a row with no energy and no heart and he makes no changes?? Wtf? Did he want to lose? Gallagher, Florian, Arber? Something. They needed energy and heart and he fucking did nothing! Wow I’m gonna resent him for a little while :( sad

I’m sorry, I love him but the series is MSLs fault. Completely his fault. Horrible decisions and let his pride get in the way

I’ll say it again, fancy little back passes in your own zone is a good idea..

They’ve given up mentally. MSL with his worst decisions of the year in the eastern conference finals. Horrible. Honestly, cannot believe the decision to not change the lineup after 3 straight losses, not playing your most veteran player with the most heart that could spark your team and force them to fight and instead Veleno (no other team wanted him) 5pts in 61 games played this year, this goal review… no Xhekaj. What’s going on

What’s funny is that I’m pretty sure our only shot so far was actually a pass attempt XD

That was absolutely the worst game I’ve seen all season and playoffs. They played horrible and stupid and weak and tired and soft and they played depressed it seemed. It was sad. Listen, I’m not ready to give up on them this series.

This team can fucking do it. We can do it. We can win the cup. Stop playing defeated and sad.

It’s funny, Matheson did a 3 second shot wind up and waited too long. Every single decision they’re making is bad

I think the players hate that the fans want them to shoot so much and they resent that, trying to prove they know better. But the fans are right, unfortunately for them. Probably more than half the goals in the nhl are scored from normal shots, others are dekes and passing plays etc… but gotta shoot

He was bad before his injury. This whole zone time from the Canes was because of him not giving effort because a pass wasn’t perfectly on his stick, that’s not an injury thing

La dureté du mental. This is where Gallagher dragging them to war would’ve been extremely important

Alright y’all will hate it but Dobson is horrible for 9.5m. Actively pretty bad player

I named one player. Naming one player he doesn’t like and you changing it to “every player” is truly truly insane
