It's a story so weird, even non-fans of hockey are aware that it happened.
The Florida Panthers literally dumped coach Gerard Gallant on the side of the road after a 3-2 loss in Carolina to the Hurricanes. The news broke when Gallant and assistant coach Mike Kelly were spotted waiting for a taxi outside of PNC Arena after the game on Sunday.
In that game, Florida took an early 2-0 lead, but gave it all up in just a few minutes midway through the second and failed to come back. That dropped them to 11-10-1, which isn't a pretty start, but isn't exactly terrible either.
