And so it begins...

Right which may support my premise when you really think about it.

At this rate Maurice wins coach of the year just through attrition.

No. Their GM pretty much came out and said its cuz they feel they cant get better with him as coach. Its truly goaltending that is holding them back. 

TSN: 'Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon says that it was tough to let Gerard Gallant go, but something didn't feel right, and that it wasn't 'something we did in haste.' 

Riiiiight, nothing to see here folks. 

Edit: Oh how I hope they sink like a rock in the standings.

No chance. Doubt hes even nominated. Jets are 1 of the worst teams in the league in every category besides goaltending. If i didnt know how TN operates id say hes more likely to be fired. He wont be tho.. They just wont extend him this off season. 

 

Jets with Gallant would be sick tho.. Top 5 goaltending right now roughly.. Top 10 for sure but bottom 5 in every other category. 

 

Put it this way, with average goaltending Vegas is close to 1st in the league.. Gallant here with this talented group.. Man, jets would be killing it instead of relying on Helle to stand on his head to win.

Maybe its as simple as McCrimmon didn't hire him. 

Probably a scenario where maybe some players were unhappy combined with a coach they loved coming available.

it could also mean McCrimmon  has overestimated the talent he has amassed.

Gallant for DeBoer... Makes about as much sense as replacing Laviolette with Hynes.

Weird season for coaches.

I'm also thinking the firing of Gallant will make some existing coaches nervous not in general but specifically that Gallant will replace them.

Gotta think Boudreau is on the hot seat....

Alex Ovechkin scored his 30th goal of the season, part of his hat trick for the Washington Capitals in a 5-2 win against the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena on Thursday.

Ovechkin has five goals in his past two games and 31 this season, giving him 15 consecutive seasons with at least 30, tying the NHL record for most to start a career.

BTW...

206 goals to go to break the the Wayner's NHL record. Or in about 4-5 seasons and what a great day that will be .

Only if Gallant brought a few NHL calibre dmen with him.

Vegas has a team of no names who were perfect for Gallant’s team first system - now they have just enough big names that they don’t buy in the same way...  he’ll end up in Montreal I think

Yeah no, Ovy couldn't hold Gretzky's jockstrap...

Niku and Vesa, both in the Jets line-up? Must be getting ready to deal him!

Man harkins or spacek are way better choices than vesa

I believe that this is what they did with John Wayne when he had cancer.  How do you process food if you have no stomach?

Harkins will already be in the lineup.

Vesa in press box?  Or is bourque injured

I asked my wife that question as she is an Oncology RN at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre here in Calgary. She said eating foods in very small amounts several times a day like in 1 cup portions. This is also an insidious cancer. One of the worst you can get. Just keep Dale in your thoughts.

Yes, I assume Vesa would be the scratch, although I’d definitely sit Bourque... He played 4 minutes yesterday, so why bother?  With Lowry out, Copp will be at 3c and Harkins gets back in.

Panthers get 2021 All-Star game.
