There was a gasp from most Montreal Canadiens fans when Brendan Gallagher went down while stepping on a stick on the ice early in the second period. There are a couple of takeaways from that whole segment: there should have been a slashing call and the game should have been stopped, and if not, one of the officials could have taken away the stick from the position right in front of the goal as play was in the Montreal zone for some time.
However, Gallagher got a scoring chance and being his usual self he went hard for it, and caught the stick and went hard into the boards.
