I’m going to need to see this gif. You know, for science.
Kane is now 1/7th overpaid. (I was expecting 6 million)

I do think with how highly respected Gully seems to be within hockey circles that he could have gone to a team with a less shambolic management team than the Oilers. But I think he chose to take a job close to Calgary to make the move on his family less difficult. I remember when he was on After Hours once that he talked about how often they had moved for him and how he was finally ready to settle down in one place

Gully only knows our outs, because he created them. He never bothered to learn our ins. For two years of being our team's coach I don't think he ever knew what his roster could or should do.
Gulutzan should make for a better assistant than head coach but yeah, he never really got the best out of this roster. And prior to him, the Flames rarely had trouble with the Oilers for a good long stretch.
Still, a shame it had to be Oilers but it's understandable what with his young family.

Sure Gully knows our players well, but I’m not worried about him at all. Peters isn’t going to coach the same way he did, what it will come down to is if the Flames can execute better under Beters.

I just remembered this today, lol. And yes, Vegas would have been the #31 favorite to win.

Janks scored 4 in our last game of the season when the Flames beat VGK 7-1.

Weren't the odds like 200-1 in preseason? $50 wins you $10,000.
Man I wish I gambled, and also that I bet on Vegas. On the flip side, if I did I'd presently be dead from a heart attack, or damn close.
Leicester winning the 2015-16 EPL had odds 5000-1 before the season. Previous season they were almost guaranteed to be relegated, but finished the season winning 7 out of 9 and survived. Late in that winning season UK betting companies were buying back the bets with around 500-1.
Different sport and different rules, but I think that's the biggest surprise in professional sports probably ever.

Leicester by far the biggest shock in the sports history imo.
Vegas is very impressive (if they win).
Both really hard to imagine when the odds were made that they would happen.

I think "fired" is for the clickbait headline. Everything I've read suggested they're still in the organization, so "demoted" is probably more accurate.

That's what's said of everyone that is fired for the most part. They are fired, then given a position as an "advisor" or "scout", just so they aren't paying them to do nothing.

Setting up the play?
Haha really? I've never noticed that
Actually, a lot of the time they call it a promotion, too, because it's something like GM->POHO. Dale Tallon was promoted to POHO in Florida by the weird guy who became GM and coach and then neither. Then he was "demoted" back to GM.

Yeah, it's more common with execs than coaches, teams figure if they are paying them that they might as well get something out of it.Haha really? I've never noticed that
