That’s a relief, the longer Kirby was out with no updates the more I was worried it was a serious illness.
It would be good to see all three of those guys back before the end of the season. I don’t think I’m alone in kind of forgetting about Gally this season, which is a bummer. Would love for him to come back healthy and contributing in the middle-6 next year.
Gallagher’s initial injury ETA was 2 weeks, then 5 days later it became 6 weeks, then 8 weeks later it became 3 more weeks.
That was the 3rd time he had to be shelved for a lower-body injury in the last calendar year.
He has just 6 goals 5v5 in his last 81 games. RHP has that many in 26 games this season.
Gally was already incredibly slow when healthy, so this last injury makes one wonder how much more his skating will be affected.
And he still has 4 more seasons at 6.5M after this current one.
Habs’ FO will have to seriously study his case and figure out what he can still bring to the team and if that can be done by someone else for a fraction of the cap hit.
I am tired. I read it “no contract jerseys” and got scared a bit
The bubble wrap squad
At this point can they play games in non contact jerseys? Maybe the opposition will be kind
Happy they’re healthy… but I hope they don’t play many games till the end of the season
Well, Kirby and Gally are skating…that’s positive
Take your time guys. No rush. Get ready for October
Gallagher, Dach and Evans are rare habs player with above average defensive results. They could help reduce the insane amount of goals against lately…
