We have a verdict from the National Hockey League regarding the dangerous cross-check on Brendan Gallagher by Alex Alexeyev of the Capitals.
As you know, during the first period of the matchup between Montreal and Washington, defenseman Alex Alexeyev delivered a sneaky and dangerous cross-check to Gallagher.
The gesture wasn't even penalized, which is both baffling and embarrassing - but it gets worse..
In the past few hours, the NHL's Department of Player Safety had the opportunity to review and analyze the sequence in order to correct the situation.
They have reached a verdict.
A decision has been made by the NHL and Gary Bettman regarding the dangerous play directed at Brendan Gallagher last night
See the verdict in question, as reported notably by Renaud Lavoie.

This is ridiculous and very hard to understand.
I love this response:
"Hey NHL Player Safety, any word on if Brendan Gallagher will be fined for using his face to cross-check Alexeyev's stick?"

Not even worth a simple fine?
Multiple calls were missed yesterday, especially the one in overtime we reported this morning, which sparked major controversy. Many Canadiens fans believe that call cost the Habs the game.
Details to follow.
