NHL Roundup: Brendan Gallagher robbed; Maple Leafs eyeing Taylor Hall; 2022 Cup odds; and more
What an absolutely rough 24 hours for Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher. Imagine a gut wrenching defeat in the Stanley Cup Final, only to come home and find you were robbed. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to the Habs heart and soul player.
NHL Roundup: Gallagher robbed during Game 5
Brendan Gallagher took to TikTok to let fans know what a rough 24 hours he was having. Without saying a word with a PitBull song in the clip, he sat there and took a bite out of a sandwich. It was the overlaying text that laid out his situation.
“When your Stanley Cup dreams are crushed and you come home to find out you’ve been robbed. But it’s ok because PitBull has been there and done that.”
Hopefully the police apprehend the culprit(s) who did this, and he can recover what was taken.
Maple Leafs eyeing Taylor Hall in free agency?
Darren Dreger was discussing Taylor Hall on the latest edition of TSN’s Insider Trading. The fact remains that both Hall and the Bruins are working on a deal, if they can’t come to an agreement before July 28th, other teams would be interested.
“But there’s outside interest as well [on Taylor Hall], including from the Toronto Maple Leafs, which may surprise some,” he said. “Toronto has interest, I’m sure, if they can’t get Zach Hyman signed, or depending on what happens with Freddy Andersen.”
Currently the consensus around the league is that Hall will re-sign with Boston.
