Brendan Gallagher Used to Punch His Grandpa in the Nuts for Fun
When I first heard this, I assumed right away this was a fake quote, so I didn't even bother covering it. Nope. Totally legit.
Brendan Gallagher is in the top tier of NHL menaces, sitting only among players like Brad Marchand, Tkachuk brothers, and Nazem Kadri. On top of being quality producers for their teams, they also thrive at digging under the skin of opponents and gaining the mental edge.
Well, it turns out that Gallagher has been like that his whole life, and he may or may not have had psychopathic tendencies when he was young. During an installment of the NHL-produced 'player personality' series, Gallagher gave the single most suspect answer I have ever heard on a live sports broadcast. Seriously, someone check in on his loved ones.
''I guess as a kid, I used to just like seeing people in pain. And I guess I used to run up to my grandpa every time and just punch him in the nuts.'' Gallagher said with an insane smirk.
The best part is when the feed cuts back to the broadcasters, they are simply stunned. Both of them just sit there in awe, speechless and unsure how to respond. Hilarious.
No wonder every other NHL market hates Brendan Gallagher.
He probably keeps punching their elder patriarchs in the nuts!
