Around the League - 2019/20 Season Edition #2

Tough season within the head coaching ranks so far. Though I guess Hynes and DeBoer at least have managed to return quickly on new teams.

VGK is in a logjam. Tied with a couple of teams for the final playoff spot in the West. Yet, three points out of the division lead, with a few teams standing in the way of that. Games in hand not in their favour though.

/goalies don't stop pucks for a couple weeks

GM: fire the coach imo

 

[Buds17]

I'm old enough to remember when he was a miracle worker and fantastic coach. Like our guy now.

Three wins away from a Cup. I can't even begin to fathom that. Soon enough, can only hope!

 

[FireBabcock]

Let’s bring him onto Toronto staff. Guy is a great coach and would be great to replace Hakstol imo.

No cap on staff salary so we can have both for now

 

[Ryan Michaels]

No chance he takes an assistant gig, Hakstol's a different story since he was an embarrassment of a head coach.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Things no one cares about for 1000 Alex .

 

[MattySnipes]

Make these threads stop.

Why would he take an assistant job when he can clearly fill in for head coach on many teams.

Same reason Keefe turned down NHL jobs to be Marlies HC.

Top 5 coach in the NHL IMO, maybe top 3....very interesting situation

That was when Keefe was the heir apparent, Gallant would be settling into a demotion for the long haul.

LOL front offices are, or should be, lining up at his door with flower bouquets in hand, and you think he's gonna take an asst position?

 

[MattySnipes]

Leafs coaches are fine for time being. They've done well. Close this thread mods. My God.

 

[1specter]

He's the hottest head coaching commodity available right now, no way he takes an assistant gig

 

[Suntouchable13]

Would you take Gallant over Keefe if Gallant was fired 2 months ago?

 

[stickty111]

Gallant firing seems a little reactionary to me.

Exactly. Seattle, Detroit and Montreal have to be front runners right now.

 

[Duffman955]

Why was he fired?

Yes,

Not that Keefe is bad, but Gallant seems to get the best out his players.

 

[MSZ]

Why was he fired?

Bad goaltending. lol

 

[A1LeafNation]

Montreal new coach.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yeah that's a really bad move by the Knights.. There has to be something underlying there.

Gallant will get his pick of the litter for his next gig.

I just hope that he doesn't end up in the division

 

[Chief keefe]

Gallant shouldn't of even been fired. MAF shit the bed… he has a 906 Sv% and a 2.85 GAA. Don't even get me started on Subban… Gallant is an excellent coach. This is way too quick of a pull. 2.5 years into his tenure. Bad move in my opinion. DeBoer needs a stacked team to be successful.

 

[1specter]

Montreal new coach.

Nope, Detroit.

 

[HC7]

Same reason Keefe turned down NHL jobs to be Marlies HC.

To be the next head coach of the Leafs?

Are you on drugs?
