Gerard Gallant told a story about how strangers insist on picking up the tab for his breakfast at a local establishment.
“You go for breakfast and somebody wants to buy you breakfast all the time,” Gallant said. “I told people the other day, I said, ‘If I keep coming here and you’re going to pay for my breakfast, I’m not coming back.’”
It speaks volumes to the humility and character of the Golden Knights’ coach. Gallant, who most likely will win the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year, isn’t looking to cash in on his team’s success.
