Galiardi knows what he did and he apologized to the team after the game apparently.
I think the best thing to do is let him go right back out there and show that he will play hard for his team-mates.
Far better to let guys make up for their mistakes than have them stew over them.

Agreed. I think I saw Galiardi play quite a bit after the bad penalty in the third and in OT. It would have been nice to make up for the mistake, but at least the team battled hard.
I'm looking forward the Flames having another energetic start. Columbus doesn't have Ovechkin, so hopefully if they get a lead, they can keep it.
