The Montreal Canadiens didn’t play their best game on Sunday against the Nashville Predators. They didn’t play the worst game either, but still lost for the fifth time in the second game of a two-game series this season. And once again the team seemed amorphous.

All? NO. Except Brendan Gallagher.

CH number 11 had fire in his calves. He may have gotten us used to it over the years, but the fact remains that it’s probably not normal.

“I think Brendan Gallagher made all his teammates look bad yesterday,” Tony Marinaro said during the show on Monday JiC on TVA Sports. Let me explain. Three games on four evenings, including travel. We know it won’t be easy. By the way, the Canadians in the “back to back“, the second game, they are 0-5 this season. This is not a team that has a lot of energy for games of “.back to back“.

“On the other hand, they competed yesterday, they were there. But in a situation where you want to progress with the players who are the most determined, with the most will and the most energy, it was Brendan Gallagher who had the most energy of all the players. I’m sorry, but it’s not normal for Brendan Gallagher to have more energy to play a third game in four nights, more than Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.

The show’s host, Jean-Charles Lajoie, continued.

“He has more shot attempts than minutes played. 15 against 14. He put 10 of the 15 attempted shots on Juuse Saros on goal, emphasized Lajoie. He had his nose in the mustard. To be honest, the referee quickly disallowed the goal. I don’t think the goal would have been given after the restart. I would have liked the referee to allow the goal and us to restart. For that to happen, it would have had to be anyone other than Gallagher, standing on all fours in the blue goalkeeper costume.
