Vegas Golden Knights

GM Kelly McCrimmon: “In order for our team to reach its full potential, we determined a coaching change was necessary. Our team is capable of more than we have demonstrated this season.”
This is a dumb move. No one in their right mind thought the VGK would go to the Stanley Cup anytime soon and they did it in their first season with a cast of castoffs. Yes they are struggling but Gallant is a good coach.
Peter deBoer to me is not. Has been fired in NJ and San Jose. To bring him in as the savior to me is grasping at straws.
To me either the owners wanted him gone and the GM is taking the bullets or something came up with Gallant and they just needed to make a move.
Honestly if I were Vegas I would have wanted Laviolette over DeBoer.
one of the worst calls of all time in any sport
