May 6th, 1992, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The moon was in the seventh house, Jupiter aligned with Mars, and a child was thrust into the world that was immediately called for goaltender interference. It was the dawning of the Age of Brendan Gallagher.
What happened next is the stuff of legend. At the tender age of 16 he would join the fabled Vancouver Giants. At the slightly less tender age of 17 he would score 40 goals and 41 assists in his first year of draft eligibility. Shortly after his 18th birthday he would be selected by the Habs in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL entry draft.
