Brendan Gallagher made a promise to the media
Known for his fighting spirit and hard work, Brendan Gallagher is a true leader in the Habs locker room, but also during each of his appearances on the ice. After the Canadiens third straight loss on Friday, the small forward spoke to all the players in the dressing room.
Questioned by members of the media on Saturday, the Habs assistant-captain swore that his team was not going to give up and that this series was not over.
"You know, I can promise one thing about this group, there's no one that's given up. We win game number four and go back out there. That's what we're focused on right now," he mentioned to media members.
Number 11 has not been a threat offensively in this series, but you can't fault him because he has been working hard every time he has stepped on the ice. A true warrior, Brendan Gallagher has two goals and three assists for a mere five points in 19 playoff games.
The reality is that he and center Phillip Danault have to compete with the other team's best players to keep them off the score sheet. It's been a tough task, as they've had to stop Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, Nikolaj Ehlers and Kyle Connor, Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty, and now they have to stifle Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov. Let's just say the challenge is daunting.
Fans are hoping for a CH win when the two teams meet on Monday night. Should they win, Montreal will have to fly to Florida to play Game 5 on Wednesday night. Game 6 is scheduled for next Friday in Montreal. If a final game is needed to decide the two teams, it will take place on Sunday, July 11th. It would be a miracle!
