I realize this is a Canucks blog, but we simply have to talk about the bizarre firing of the Florida Panthers Head Coach. Gerard Gallant led the team to a Division title last season, a season in which the team won 47 games and reached 103 points. They are currently one game ahead of .500, despite Gallant’s former bosses changing 5 of the team’s D over the summer. Gallant was universally adored by his players, and times are worrying for Panthers fans.
We’ll look at other NHL news near the end of this post, but for now, I direct you to the game thread for the Panthers’ last game courtesy of our SB Nation cousins, Litter Box Cats.
