I mean ouffff, that and McDavid and Draistail don't want to play with Tkatchuk

Seems like the Pacific All-Star team has a quite a few problems. Gotta wonder if they don't explore the idea of firing Gallant.

This seems premature? Wonder if there is something else brewing behind closed doors.

Wow! Seems premature to me and I didn't see this coming at all. I still believe that Vegas will be there (playoffs) in the end - but not so sure now.

Gallant will be snapped up by somebody in no time!

Bad move Vegas! Bad Move!

yes but Montreal is dysfunctional. they have turned into the Maple Leafs of the JFJ/Brian Burke/Dave Nonis era.

Bizarre move unless there is something else going on that we don’t know about. Guessing the Predators are regretting moving so quickly with their coaching change, eh? Detroit should grab him immediately.....too good to be out of work for long.

DEAR STAN & JOHN,

FIRE COLLITION & HIRE GALLANT!!!!

It would restore the faith of many in both of your jobs! Gee.... Gerard Gallant might install a defensive system that he has the players for. But gosh, why do that????

PLEASE do this for the faithful fans of the Chicago Blackhawks! Also, reward a good coach like Derek King & make him an NHL Assistant Coach.

Thanks,

That was my first thought except it's doubtful with an interim GM. Hopefully he's available later.

If I were Poile I would be. But then I'm not sure he and Gallant had a previous relationship, so he probably wouldn't have been in the running. Who knows though, maybe they sat next to each other on a plane one time, or bumped into each other at Starbucks. A guy can hope can't he?

Asinine move. No loyalty shown to Gallant, again.


Hope they miss the playoffs.

As much as I'd love to see Detroit get Gallant … his current deal runs through next season (signed a 4-year deal in 2017). He can chill, get paid, and … DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN when Seattle drops the puck for the first time September 2021. Go Kraken !!!

You have to wonder. I thought he was a great coach, but to be shown the door this quick??

Firing Gallant is one thing. Thinking that DeBoer is going to solve anything is asinine.

again... Vegas is on the bubble and has been all year. last year they finished with a record which, most years, is not good enough to make the playoffs. they've been basically a .500 team for the last 18 months despite some very pricey additions. i don't see where the shock comes from.

The timing is shocking, i was expecting it to happen at the end of the season if they missed the playoffs or lost in the 1st round again. Not now, im more pissed about the hiring of the clown Deboer.

Vegas' compete level this year hasn't been what it has been the prior two years, but they are only 3 points away from 1st. We'll see how the jolt from DeBoer sparks the team forward..or not...usually his teams do well in Year 1 and then gradually decline in the standings...
Gallant will be hired again as he is a good coach and he was perfect for Vegas with how they built the team. Their problem will be what happens when Fleury leaves....

If Stan wasn't more concerned with having a puppet as HC I'd say the Hawks need to jump on this ASAP but they won't
- Savetheembers33


Yeah I agree. Honestly cannot see them moving on from Colliton until April at the earliest.
