There is NO PLACE in the NHL for this

- It is rare that NHL fans can agree on much, but Brendan Gallagher's dirty elbow hit on Adam Pelech in tonights matchup between the New York Islanders and the Montreal Canadiens was one I think we can all agree has NO PLACE in hockey. In a game that marked the return of legend Patrick Roy to Montreal as new coach of the Islanders, it was actually a really good game! There was a nice moment where the Canadiens honoured Roy during the Canadian Anthem as well. As for the game, the Canadiens came out of the gate hot and were up by 3 after 20. They were up by 2 heading into the 3rd when Brendan Gallagher decided to lay a disgusting hit on Islanders Adam Pelech. He caught him right on the chin with a nasty elbow and received a match penalty getting ejected from the game. This allowed the Islanders a 5 minute powerplay to get back into the game. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Gallagher gets a lot of unearned hate, but this in inexcusable.
Even as a fan of Montreal, albeit not my top team... there's no way this can be excused in any which way tbh.
Unearned, I'm pretty sure he earns every ounce of it. But this is definitely different, and absolute garbage hockey. I've never like him, I think he is a shit heal rat on the ice and he finally proved it 100% with this gross hit. Can't wait to see who makes him pay for this one, and if he turtles (which I expect he will) I hope they keep after him till he stands up like a man and faces the music.
i LOVE brendan gallagher but FFS WTF was that?!...there was NO REASON...nothing could have been said or done to warrant such a cheap shot to the face....
Yeah I have a gally jersey but that hit was just dirty asf
Gallagher gets a lot of deserved hate.
this game basically sums up the islanders season so far, hype everyone up and then choke in the dying minutes, and also losing players to dirty hits
Yup. Also turnovers.
Oh that's not a dirty Hit - pellek is 6 inches taller and 30 lb heavier than Gallagher
Why is he skating with his head down? Those are always the worst injuries - what the hell is the head of a 6 ft 3 in hockey player doing down at the level of a 5 ft 9 in midget?
The majority of these "bad hits"'are players playing with their heads down
Nobody even notices the fact that Gallagher is a midget next to this guy
They didn't choke in the dying minutes. They were down the entire game.
As a Habs fan this needs to be at least a 3 game suspension minimum if not 5. That is a clear intent to injury and a blatant elbow to the face.
I agree with you. Gally is my favorite player and always had been but that was dirty, disgusting and unnecessary
i LOVE brendan gallagher but FFS WTF was that?!...there was NO REASON...nothing could have been said or done to warrant such a cheap shot to the face....
Duration of the suspension = duration of the player on the side lide.
why copy paste all youre messages
@@jocelyndaoust3700 (your)
They should make it so that on top of the game suspensions for illegal hits, the offending player shouldn't be allowed to return to the ice until the injured player returns from their injury
@@jabronirigatoni4648what does that mean
@@jackwayne4570 it means, wisdom when spoken aloud, always sounds a little foolish but perhaps that is because when we hear something that makes sense to us, we think we already know it, but often we don't.
I see what you mean about leaving them out, but it'd be really easy for teams to exploit that and leave players out longer than needed on purpose. Unless there was a third party that could ensure there wasn't any funny business, which i doubt would ever happen.
@@jabronirigatoni4648this isn't okay on a normal day, but to say this the week of the Hockey Canada news, it's even more disgusting. As a man, grow up.
@@jabronirigatoni4648not cool dude. Really immature.
If gambling suspends you for half a season, but causing a severe brain damage on purpose will lead to only a 5 game suspension(it is my speculation that he will be suspended for 4-5 games), then the league is doing something really wrong.
Always has been when it comes to discipline. Absolute joke of a league in that regard
Great point. The League really doesn't care about the players - they are just parts to a machine that produces profits. parts can get replaced - there is an endless supply. The NHL in it's current state is a corrupt monopoly with no oversight, they are above the law in many cases. Just ask the Chicago Blackhawks about how they muzzled Kyle Beach for years over his molestations by Brad Aldrich or protected Bobby Hull from the police on domestic abuse charges. It's simply all about the money, it always has been. The League cheated and stole from it's players for decades before they unionized and got player agents to represent them. It's history with respect to players safety and well being is bleak. They speak to improve things but much is the same as it has always been. The NHL does not lead - it follows slowly. It is slow to learn, slow to admit failure, slow to change, it is run by a dinosaur who hasn't had an original or inspiring thing to say in decades. Yet they play ads saying how the game could possibly be better ? It sounds like russian propaganda, saying the opposite to the truth to turn logic on ot's head. There is a ton they could do to make it better. Like removing the grotesque moving ads on the boards for a start. Improving awful refereeing, it is currently the worst I have ever seen. Defining League Rats and aggressively penalizing them so they stop cheating the game. Suspensions to be tied to injury time, so Gallaghers head shot = time off for injured player. If such a system was in place, hits like his would stop. But the League doesn't want it to stop - controversey sells tickets. This is the unsaid truth to the current state of the game - profits over safety, profits over fan enjoyment, profits over pain and suffering. Sadly, the NHL is just another greedy, sloppily run buisness with it's priorities backward.
Agreed! At least ten for Gallagher and 4 for Huberdeau!
How about they suspend him as long as this guys is out and his career is over then so is his.
Kind of a good point but what if its a freak accident?@@AJDelRose
Doesn’t get any more blatantly intentional than that.
Oh yes, quite blatant, yes, quite. 🤣
Atleast 10 games suspension!
I'm a life-long Habs fan and I've never been a big fan of Gallagher. When he was a "good" player, he was responsible for more disallowed goals than any player I have ever seen, in fact, he probably was responsible for as many disallowed goals as goals he scored. He's always been one of the more physical players on the team but this hit is just stupid. Let guys like Marchand do crap like that, it's way below the standard in Montreal. Give him the suspension and get on with it....and if he keeps doing stupid stuff, it might be time to think about a buy out.
One of the most egregious fouls that I've ever seen this side of Marc Savard's hit.
As a Montreal fan, I want him suspended for ten games.
Absolutely disgusting.
calm down
@@Gas_Station_Tampons I'm perfectly calm.
Recognizing that this hit was utterly disgusting and has no place in the game, and that Gallagher is a waste of a roster spot is just the consequence of being a sane human being.
Egregious … 🤣 oh many, you pulled out your thesaurus for that one 🤣. BTW, you’re not impressing anyone by wanting to sound like those clueless tv so called reporters. What a goof.
I agree, this stuff has to stop. The NHL doesn't hand out punishment that equals the crime ever. Clear intent to injure.
Monahan is basically paid league minimum on an expiring contract, can play on any line and wing, 5v5, special team, you name it. I think every single team looking to do any damage in the postseason will AT LEAST enquire about him to the Habs GM before the TDL.
I can see AT LEAST 8 teams that would look so much better with him in their lineup, with NONE of the usual cap gymnastics usually required to get such a rental.
He's been paired with the most snake bitten forward all season and still produce well, and is such a dream to coach.
Oh I forgot one last thing. One top of his defensive play, he's a wizard for faceoffs. Better stats than Matthews at almost 56% of the 700+ FO he took so far. Signing the guy for that 1 year 1.2M contract was genius man, but I never thought he'd get that good that fast given the huge injuries he had to fight the past 3 seasons.
I wonder what MTL is looking for in exchange.
Would picks only be okay or what? What do you guys think they would want?
On the actual subject :
I don't think I ever saw Gallagher do something like that; he's annoying, sure, but something so blatant and dangerous? It's weird. Habs fans, was he interviewed about it? WTH?
With how bad the refs have been this season for all teams its refreshing to see they still have a pulse out there
Refs are bad in every league, every season, every tournament and every country. I'm starting to thing it's not the refs that are bad, but it's hockey's reffing system. The whole reffing needs to be overhauled.
Maybe it's the fans, haha!@@pauljmorton
it is not only the refs but the league officials at fault ,they keep changing the rules, making them more complicated and then not forcing the refs to do their jobs to the point of ignoring many of the infractions so as not to slow down the game, they want fast high scoring games, i.e. 2 hour or less with the final score being 12 to 10; if you think the games are too long and slow then the game is not for you, 90% of games should end with a score of 1 to 0 ; no team should score more than 2-3 goals a game and a game should last however long it takes with every infraction being called and i do mean EVERY infraction, if that means that stoppages and penalty minutes are 3-4 times the regulation minutes then so be it
@@pauljmorton Yeah, I mean there are a lot of inconsistencies in the calls. While not all plays are the same, we have plenty of the same situations which have been officiated differently
@@jamesberry3230 Good points. I also see nothing wrong with bringing back ties
I’m a Habs fan and I like Gallagher. I don’t know why this season he decides to become Brad Marchand, but every time we’re in the 3rd period with a lead or a tied game he does something like this. It’s so frustrating as a fan, because afterwards they either shit the bag and lose or barely win by one goal after getting scored like 2 or 3+. Great game and I hope Gallagher will stop doing this
i LOVE brendan gallagher but FFS WTF was that?!...there was NO REASON...nothing could have been said or done to warrant such a cheap shot to the face....
Wrong, Brad Marchand can score too.
Lol
Agreed. Gallagher wishes he was the player Marchand is.@@cedrikthibert7033
@@cedrikthibert7033 yeah but I meant like playing dirty
He’ll stop doing it if he loses 10 games of pay, intentional like this is dangerous!
what was Braden Gallighar thinking about when he did that??? poor judgement no? come on Branden NHL is trying to eliminate those dangerous hits.
This is what will now label him as a dirty player...no excuse that hit!
It definitely makes the puck-drop for the next meeting something to look forward to.
2:27 when he sees the hit in slow motion and he cringes. He knows, you can see guilt.
Really good video, as an Islanders fan, I'd love to see you cover all their games like this.
Boy your comment are so great, do you make summary of every hab games ?
that should be 10 games at least, dirty reputation, head shot, deliberate attempt to injure.
dirty reputation what are you smoking??? gally has a clean sheet he takes 6000% more hits then he receives every year. The amount of time he got crosschecked in the face and didnt recipricate is astounding. Get your faces straight.
Hard to believe Gallagher did that, he's usually very intense but respectful.
You sure you're talking about Gallagher ;)
@@DirtyMoneyHipHopThis was the first real dirty thing he’s done in his 12 year career.
As an example, he sucker punched Goodrow a couple of years ago and that was dirty too. He plays on the line and sometimes crosses it.@@politicalbandwagon4989
@@politicalbandwagon4989 eh? is this the same guy?

That’s an 8 gamer. He went straight for the head with an elbow, late, period!
Did anyone see Hyman get tripped when he was about to get that empty netter? That should count as a goal

It should be a prison sentence for assault.
@@gregjohnson298No, because it's part of the game.
@@MordusdepleinairQuebec Assault should not be a part of a sport,you could kill someone easily with a hit to the head like that.

And Tie Domi.
That guy should have been straight up banned from the NHL on several occasions. How many times does the league have to let these repeat offenders intentionally injure players and put others careers at risk before they just say 'enough' and end theirs? No one pays for a ticket just to see a guy like Cooke injure better players than he is.
@@CJ-1776 yes they do, just look at how many comments there are about not getting rid of fighting
fighting does not cause those injuries and never has@@jamesberry3230
McAvoy saw Gallagher get more games than he did for the same hit on Larsson and thanked the fact he’s playing for a team who’s always been given special treatment by Bettman
I'm a die hard Habs fan but Galley went overboard on this! No there is no place in hockey for this kind of action. Galley deserves at least 5 games in my book. Not only the hit with the elbow which is almost higher than his head but also for no reason and put the habs in a 5 minute disadvantage with 8 mins to go in a game where your leading by 2. I really don't know why he did what he did but it was intentional that there is NO doubt in my mind.
As someone who doesn't watch the No Hits League anymore, I'm disgusted by this behavior. He should be suspended for the rest of the season and charged with aggravated assault.
I think that, in the case of illegal hits like that, the offending player should be suspended for the entire length of recovery time of the player he injured. This is MY opinion. I am concerned over the unfair injuries the are all too common in hockey. I would like to see a measure in place that would deter inexcusable actions like this.
Looks like a good things that could be done. But what if the recovery is faster than it should have been for this kind of hit?
@@grimzkunk The suspension ends when the injured person is playing again, IMHO.
@@dustinchase9187 So if the injured player was lucky to not get kilked and only miss 2 games, the faulty players will only miss 2 games even through he tried to kill him?
@@grimzkunk I didn't say anything about attempts to kill. I said dirty and illegal plays. Your assumption is a different subject and that would require much harsher penalties. Good bye.
Come on Gallagher, leave that dirty shit out of the game. We certainly will miss you in the other games while you are suspended, but you have earned that suspension.
I'm a Bruin Fan, but I do love the original six. Loved Roy! One of the best.
Yes, Gallagher can get in your hair, but that was definitely a savage hit! He should get the 5 game and a heavy fine.
I also said the same for our Bruin D-man McAvoy when he gave a similar hit this year.
Where is the 'Sportsmanship?" I do hope that Pelech will be okay. It can be a dangerous sport as we know already.
Its pretty wild to see Roy and St Louis coach against eachother.
Disgusting, that's intentionally trying to hurt the guy, not just stopping him.
In public that'd be assault.
He is the definition of a notorious dirty player. usually he is sneaky about it. This time he wasn't.
crossing neutral zone hits are almost always bad. i'd say worse than trying to split d in their zone, going hard into corners (because if you are you should be more alert), and even the dreaded icing race that was once dangerous
Maybe Gally just wanted a week off lol that’s the only explanation to this shitty hit while leading by a pair
He will likely get for more than a week.
He could stay home the whole season. Not only is he dirty, he sinks the team with unecessary pénalités but he just sucks overall as an hockey player. He's slow as hell, perhaps he's frustranted he cannot keep up with the new speedy talentuous players in the NHL and that's why he triés to injure other plauers... He's finished and he knows it.
Having him on the ice ice is a liability for our club and a disgrace to the NHL.
hey gally the 90's are over bud lol !
Hit on Crozier by Arizona in last nights game. He was straight up targeted by the team and nobody is sure why.
Just like the Islanders, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It's not even an anomaly, this has happened maybe half a dozen times where they've allowed the winning goal in the waning minutes of regulation. Not to mention the almost dozen overtime losses. This team is absolutely horrific in the clutch and it will most likely cost them a trip to the playoffs this season. Props to Montreal for playing the entire 60 minutes.
Montreal did not play the entire 60 minutes lol. They were leading 3-0 and let the Isles come back. Habs are like that this season, always playing for about a half game (30 min).
@@mamagne800 well I guess that makes it even worse for the Isles then, being gifted at least a point and still letting it slip away.
My boy pronounced Roy like 4 different ways in this vid 😂
Roy passionate behind the bench...are u watching Marty?
On the ice: A time out and some days off work.
In a bar: A felony with jail time.
As a Montreal fan, that is inexcusable. No need for cheap shots like that in the league. Set an example with him.
I know first hand and I say my piece. Both Lucic and Brendan were stars with the Vancouver Giants back in the day. After good starts, they both changed. Lucic was a great scorer and tough as shit. Brendan was a skillset officiando. What happened? I know he is not a big man but he kept it cool. What he did is unexcusible. As for Lucic.....no comment
I hope he gets double digits.
That move should of gotten him immediately retirement paperwork
Ghallagher should have got a suspension for that dirty hit.
Roy looks like Mulroney at certain angles! 😅
Gallagher is a dirty player, but he's one of those guys that seems to live on the constant grace of "well, it crossed a line this time, but he's not *dirty*" every single time.
5 or less is definitely not enough for this hit, he has to get at least 10! The Huberdeau hit in Calgary is worth 4 min. There is a significant difference in both hits one being, without a doubt, intentional and the other avoidable.
I think Gally thought he was hitting St Louis.
I really do
Chicken being the key term. What a cowardly hit!
Suspensions for headtackles are a joke, should be at least long as the victim is out, and/or at least 20 games.
Yeah, if they said ‘you can come back when he comes back’ I wonder if that would really motivate guys to cut this stuff out.
Longer than Pinto's 41 games, that's for sure
It's a funny thing, a LOT of the headhunting hits seem to be directed at guys who have just come back from a concussion. It's like they're deliberately trying to put them out of the game forever.
Solche Aktionen sind absolut Hirnlos und sind nur dazu gedacht, den Gegenspieler zu verletzen anstelle ihn fair zu checken und in so aus dem Spiel zu nehmen. Meiner Meinung nach wird hier eine Verletzung des Gegenspielers in Kauf genommen . Das schadet dem Sport und der Sicherheit der Spieler.
If the NHL is going to be serious about player "safety"...this needs to be a BIG suspension.
I have a lot of respect for the guy, but that's inexplainable. And to let them tie it up too.
I think a good way to reduce the number of hits like this that occur are significant financial penalties. Pelech earns $70,000 per game, so make Gallagher pay Pelech's salary for every game that he misses to injury. Also, Gallagher should forfeit his per-game salary for every game he misses during his suspension, as well as whatever pathetically low the NHL fines him.
If Pelech out for 10 games and Gallagher receives a 5 game suspension, he'd have to pay Pelech $701, 000 and lose $396,000. Losing $1,097,000 - now that's a deterrent!
Those type of deliberate head hunting hits need to be a minimum 25 game suspension and a full years contract forfeiture. Hit the hitter where it hurts the most! MASSIVE fines.
Another penalty they could receive would be suspension for as long as the other player takes to return to game ready status. Oh, a career ending injury?…Same goes for he who caused it.
Only then will those who deliver these kinds of hits actually know the severity of their dirty hits
I’m a leafs fan and people will use that against me here but I really don’t see how people can defend him. He got him square in the head with his elbow
1967.
If anyone says it was an accident I'm going to be mad
As Habs fan, the hit was Super Unnecessary and dirty!
4-5 games!
Gally can thank Monahan and Montembeault for avoiding the nightmare...
That was a huge bump, that’s probably 5 or 6 weeks in Aussie rules.
Should be a minimum 5 game suspension and a 'hefty' fine! This is disgusting!
That was clean hockey hit. Blind side, elbow up, both feet leave the ice, east to west, intent to injure and a hit to the head. Nothing dirty about that at all.
That hit looks like assault to me, the outcome was exactly what was planned.
If Pelech is forced to retire, he should sue Gallagher for damages, like Moore did to Bertuzzi.
@@Willowflat16 -
100% agree with you!
Clean open ice hit
Suspending Gallagher would actually help the Habs.
I think it is the sort of hit that needs a ban for the rest of the season and may be one where criminal charges should be laid. Looking at the video it seems to be premeditated and may constitute assault. The fact that it happened in a game of hockey, doesn't allow someone to attempt to concuss another person. I realize all hockey players probably have to sign all their human rights away in order to play in the NHL, but still it is going to be a legal nightmare that is going to cost the NHL's insurer millions, I can see their premiums going up by a lot just from this one incident.
It may be a lot cheaper and easier for the league to sack the guy, and get it classified as a crime, than try and pass it off a "Normal" risk of hockey.
Anyone else think that the League is too soft on hits like these? 3 games that could have ended a career.
It should be 20 starting and compound from there.
@Jets228 I know what you mean but if you look closely at a fight, the only "reason" damage is to the hands of the fighters.
This era fights is all acting. It is no where near the late 90's/ early 2000's where guys would take off their helmets and actually trade punches.
We are in the era of boarding, slew foots, speering, and chicken wings.
@@Jets228 fully agree. If they admit it's an issue, then they will be liable due to their acceptance. It's identical to what happened with the NFL and post autopsy brain studies for CTE.
You should not call what Gallagher did a costly mistake. It was a deliberate violent cheap shot by a player who has always skirted the edge. No mistake. No excuse.
No matter how good Roy is, how good he was in net, how much good he's done as a coach... there's always going to be that one trou de cul that remembers his last game in Montreal.
You better watch your BACK...Gallagher!
Time for an unpaid vacation Gallagher. That was cowardly, selfish, and completely inexcusable. Embarrassing for himself and his team.
Gally has been one of my favorite habs for years, but it is seriously time for him to retire, he is more of a detriment to the habs this year.
Should start handing out 20 min majors for such dirty hits.
Absolutely a suspension worthy hit.
As a habs fan, I don't understand why gally did that.
Min 5 game suspension big boy.
Go sit down and think about that hit.
the Michael Jordan of hockey goaltending is in the hizzat
Isn't the overall goal total of this game, the same amount Patrick Roy let in his last game as a Montreal Canadian?
I see the Montreal really let there guard down for a while
He knew what he was doing. He was mad. He was trying to injure. He charged him. His hit was 100% unnecessary. So according to the NHL under MONTREAL FANBOYS RULES, this clown deserves MAXIMUM FINES and thrown out of the league for 1 year. YOU made the rules. Now you have to play by them losers
wow. I love a good legal hit, but propelling yourself into a person with the elbo into a guy that's had many concussions, that's very dirty.
I think Gallagher is frustrated because he sucks so bad and his career is downhill. Being a competitor, he's trying to find his old style of playing and just can't do it anymore. Unfortunately, the Habs are stuck with him until the end of his ridiculous contract given by Bergevin and now he's a burden for Hughes who can't trade him.
Hits to the head like that should automatically be a season suspension that is dirty
Bobby Nystrom or Clark Gillies would have dealt with players like this with their "motherly love".
As an Islander fan, I actually like Gallagher. But this was a bad hit. He's gotta pay the piper on this one. I fully expect Matt Martin to take care of this on the next meeting. I like the discipline in holding off to get the full 5 minute power play but Gallagher needs a message in the form of #17.
Absolutely disgusting. He doesn’t deserve to be a HAB. But Gallagher doesn’t care. He knows he’ll get the NHL bare minimum.
Roy will be an Islander force to be dealt with….
as a new hockey fan, im not considering myself an expert in the field at all, but this being the first montreal canadiens game i’ve watched, i thought they were playing very dirty. that hit was disgusting
Stick to soccer Annie.
You know, the time of the injury would be adequate punishment
Shocked Gallagher can only get a maximum of 5 games, should be like 6-8 game suspension
This kind of behavior is inexcusable and the NHL should rule that when one player injures another because of an illegal check, one which results in a penalty, that player should be suspended for the same number of games that the injured player misses due to that injury.
Expect more hits like this with Roy behind the bench
It really sucks, Gally is one of my Fav habs player, always putting his body on the line but that hit was dirty. Definitely worth 3-5 games
No. It’s worth maximum fine and a year long suspension. YOU DEMANDED Sheifele get 4 PLAYOFF GAMES for a 100% clean hit, (don’t even bother fighting me, I’ll destroy your argument ) so now YOU have to live by YOUR rules. Too bad, so sad
@@KyleJon Not again... Clean hit??? The puck was nowhere close to Evans FFS... That 4 game suspension was deserved.
Back on topic:

The Weasel doing weasel-ly deeds.
Happy for Monahan's success in Montreal
Galagher deserves 5 game suspension. And I am a #HABS fan.
These 2 teams play again with 4 games left in the season. Leafs should trade Reeves for a bag of pucks to N.Y.
Then Reeves can return the favor to Gally.
Still have no idea why Gally did this
He is on the "GOON" list now ... Five(5) games ..not enough however. should be an interesting game when he returns and they play NYI again ...
