During his end-of-season press conference yesterday, Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher shared some very difficult information. Gallagher explained that he had suffered a complete ankle fracture in the 12th game of the season, but despite this, he had continued to play for a full month. It's truly impressive.
Furthermore, after playing on a fractured ankle for a month, Gallagher suffered a new fracture of the same ankle, which explains his prolonged absence thereafter. However, this once again demonstrates his true passion for the sport.
Although Gallagher admitted during the press conference that he probably should have avoided playing on a fractured ankle, he was so eager to play this season that he did not make that decision at the time. He also acknowledged that he did not disclose everything to the team's medical staff so that he could continue to play. Gallagher is truly a sports enthusiast.
