In what was a shocking and truly unexpected turn of events, the Vegas Golden Knights parted ways with Gallant and Assistant Coach Mike Kelly, while bringing in Peter DeBoer as their new Head Coach.
It was a move that sent shockwaves throughout the hockey world and, on early evidence, this seems like a true panic move by the Vegas front office.
After all, the Golden Knights may have dropped four straight following a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday and fallen to fifth in the Pacific Division as a result, but they still ranked high in a number of statistical categories.
