Brendan Gallagher's condition is the talk of the town
Since the start of the season, Brendan Gallagher has yet to flash the red light, which has the bad guys talking, taking the opportunity to point out the "value" of his new contract. He has only one minor assist in seven games and his attitude shows his state of mind...
I rarely agree with Michel "Bergy" Bergeron, but on this statement about "Gally", I totally agree with him.
"He seems discouraged. He doesn't seem to be in shape, physically or mentally. He returns to the bench folded in half. He slams the door. He tries to break his stick..." - Bergeron
He is often referred to as the heart of this team, but right now the heart of the core is not beating strong. Without Shea Weber, it's simple, this team has no soul. Without his presence, it has lost that attitude and culture, showing that without its captain, it is as fragile as it was in 2015.
It's today that we realize just how unique a human and leader Shea Weber is. But as Jonathan Drouin awkwardly mentioned, Weber is gone, so someone has to step up and take the torch. Otherwise, it'll be another go-around... already!
