DeBoer? **** me.

 

[BattleBorn]

This is insanity. Is McCrimmon on smack?

 

[VEGASKING]

Holy shit I agreed with the post in the GDT last night that there was no chance in hell he got fired this season. If I knew Deboer was going to be the replacement I wouldn't have even suggested it.

 

[gdsmack267]

Did he fall off a cliff for you guys this year? Arnt you guys like 3 points out of first in your division?

 

[BattleBorn]

Must have something to do with violence toward players or calling someone a bad name or something.

 

[CupInSIX]

You've got to be shitting me.

Needless to say, not a fan of this. Replaced by the guy he called a clown.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Terrible

 

[The Duck Knight]

Well some of you guys got your wish. Good luck.

 

[CupInSIX]

There has to be more to this than they weren't happy with their last 6 starts. There better be some crazy story like he was supplying them with PEDs or something.

Let's recap:
-helped make Wild Bill what he is
-helped Smith, Schmidt, McNabb play the best hockey of their careers
-turned Chandler Stephenson into a versatile guy who can play in the top 6
-praised universally by all his players
-oh yeah. Made an unprecedented run to the SCF in their 1st year

probably forgetting about 1000 things but...losing streak with both goalies playing like crap

 

[T1K]

This is shocking, was there some kind of incident which led to this?

We've struggled for a large portion of this season, as has the pacific division as evident by 3 points out of first, but replacing him with DeBoer? Kelly must've done some line drills with Kuznetsov.

 

[Ginger Papa]

I’m just in utter shock.

I anticipate a team or two will fire their current coach to bring GG on before he’s snatched up.

Please be Vancouver please be Vancouver​

 

[OmniSens]

Well this came out of nowhere.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I know you already hate the Sharks.

...the hate will grow.

 

[The Duck Knight]

I can't picture GG abusing one of his players.

Given the way this organization does business though I wouldn't doubt if it's got something to do with complaints from STH of the inconsistent play and the announced ticket prices that just came out Monday.

 

[theslatcher]

So... Will Turk coach the pacific division for the All-Star game still?

 

[IceNeophyte]

This is shocking, was there some kind of incident which led to this?

I don't think so, because Mike Kelly was fired too. This is a leadership change. So much for character guys and mutual loyalty.

 

[IceNeophyte]

No way. Would you?

Probably Tocchet.

I don’t think he was the problem here. Every team goes through a rough patch. ​

I'll be surprised if GG is unemployed Friday.

Did Ken seriously get Gallant shitcanned?

'well we traded for Stephenson Turk so we tried. We tried. Now get out and call yourself a cab."
wtf

 

[mundyc3]

This is lunacy. My avatar to match. Feel like it is time to hope we really start losing and get a high draft pick.

 

[VegasKnightlife]

Pretty shocked. Hate replacing Gallant with DeBoer who sucks.

 

[Dread Clawz]

This is two teams in a row now where Gallant was unjustly, prematurely fired. Unbelievable. Some team will snatch him up and laugh for years at having one of the best coaches in the league who never should have been available.

 

[innitfam]

Do Vegas fans support this decision? I'm pretty shocked tbh
