Gerard Gallant found himself in a pool of irony Wednesday morning. In a shocking sequence of events, Gallant was replaced on the Vegas Golden Knights' bench by the man he called a "clown" less than nine months ago.
That man is none other than former Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer. The Golden Knights fired Gallant as their coach Wednesday and hired DeBoer for the same position.
Prior to the Sharks and Golden Knights squaring off last season in Game 7 in the first-round Stanley Cup playoffs series, Gallant forcefully denied that he talked trash to Sharks forward Logan Couture.
