A Bruins reporter sharply criticized Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher for a perceived dirty hit, expressing dismay at the lack of respect for the game.

The reporter highlighted a broader issue, asserting that the @NHLPA tends to defend the aggressor rather than the victim, while also criticizing the absence of a vocal stance against such hits.

Complete lack of respect for the game here by Gallagher, and yet the @NHLPA will defend him, not the victim, and never speak out against these hits.

The commentary underscores a growing frustration within the hockey community regarding player conduct, with calls for accountability and a shift in how these incidents are addressed by the players' association.
