There was no such thing.

The only "ordeal" about Gallagher last year was him getting crosschecked in the face in the playoffs, getting his jaw broken in the process with no penalty called on the play.

Dont make me look it up.

But there definitely was a big story around it.

Gally is as big of whiner as anyone.

Gallagher is a yapper. Which I'm sure is annoying to play against.

He doesn't shy away from the dirty areas and doesn't female dog about getting hit.

He gets back up and goes straight in front of that net.

He's great.

Just whines more.

It's fine. Crosby is one of the greatest player in history and he's also a big whiner sometimes.

Fedorov wanted out of Detroit because he didn't like Yzerman getting the adoration while he didn't. He said if his name were Sam Jones he'd be loved. Detroit was coming off winning a Cup in 97 and lost Vladdy Konstantinov to a terrible limo accident.

Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch Sr. and Carolina owner Peter Karmanos hated each other. That's another story. So Fedorov was a RFA and held out to start the season. Carolina signed him to a 6 year/$38 million offer sheet. Including a 26 million dollar signing bonus up front.

Was the pen heavy? So Ilitch matched of course. He wanted to win more Cups which he did. Fedorov ended up making 2 mil a year for the remaining 5 years. He became a UFA in the summer of 2003. Ilitch made him an offer months earlier of 5 years 10 million per. Feds said he had to think about it. Ilitch was done after that.

Each offer Holland made after that was less. The last offer Holland made was 3 years 6 mil per. Feds then signed with the Ducks (Bryan Murray) as a UFA. Feds turning down that offer was good for Detroit. His game really fell off the cliff when Burkey traded him to Columbus.

There has always been two groups around here

You have:

Group A: we need rule changes/adjustments, call existing penalties more, etc.

And then there’s:

Group B: HIT THE MOTHER(frank)er BACK!

All I'm hearing is that Matthews needs a stronger stick that won't break so easy, when he crosschecks guys once after they get him a half bakers dozen times.

Bottom line:

Matthews needs better sticks, holy crap.
