Since joining the NHL, German forward Tim Stutzle has already made several enemies across the league, known for "faking" to draw penalties on opposing players.
Moreover, a significant rivalry seems to have developed between the Ottawa Senators forward and Brendan Gallagher, almost leading to a fight in last night's game.
Indeed, the diminutive Canadiens attacker was visibly furious at the end of the game, even going as far as throwing his gloves to engage in a fight with the third overall pick in 2020. To the great dismay of Montreal fans, Tim Stutzle refused Gally's invitation, immediately fleeing the scene.
Following the Senators' victory, number 18 commented on the sequence, mentioning he had no reason to fight at that point in the match. He also admitted that Gallagher kept shouting at him that he was scared to fight, an accusation that seems founded given Stutzle's reaction to number 11's invitation.
One thing is for sure, Brendan Gallagher has succeeded in making his mark in the NHL by constantly annoying opposing players, and we are very happy to see that he does not stray from his identity.
