The Canadiens signed a nice victory last night against the Flyers.

After the game, there was a nice atmosphere in the locker room and Martin St-Louis wanted to send flowers to Montembeault and Gallagher.

Monty was solid in front of his net, making big saves when it mattered, and Gally scored his 20th goal of the season. It’s true that the two deserve attention after the team’s win.

It was Brendan Gallagher who took care of giving the player of the game glasses in the locker room… and even though the veteran acknowledged the work of his goalkeeper, he chose to give the glasses to Oliver Kapanen – who also had a good game.

Welcome back, Kappy. – Brendan Gallagher

This gave a nice moment in the room:

This is really a good veteran gesture from Brendan Gallagher.

He wanted to make sure Kapanen feels appreciated within the group, even if he had to return to Europe after starting the season in Montreal, and he wanted to congratulate him on his game.

Kapanen may not have scored, but he finished the game with a shot on goal and 8:18 of playing time. But, above all, the young center player took advantage of his opportunities to be effective on the ice, and that’s what to take away from his performance.

He didn’t put the team in trouble, and he really looked comfortable on the ice. Kapanen had a great season in Sweden, and it’s clear he’s gained confidence.

We’re not talking about the same player we saw at the beginning of the season, at least.

To briefly return to Gallagher, it’s in seeing him make gestures like that, that we realize he’s an important part of the Canadiens organization.

He’s become a great leader over the years, he hasn’t missed a single game due to injury since the medical team changed, and he reached the 20-goal plateau last night for the first time since the 19-20 season.

The Canadiens are lucky to have him, even if he’s not the Brendan Gallagher of his good days.


In Overtime

– The chemistry is incredible with the Habs.

– To follow…

– I like his comments.

– Good…
