Confirmed with Link: GERARD GALLANT FIRED

[haveandare]

Yep. The next one is #2.

Better be the right one, because he's not getting to #3

Oh I see, my bad I misunderstood.

Yeah I’m not going to judge this decision until we see who the next one is. Could be better or a lot worse.

 

[Breaded Fox]

I know I'm in the minority here. But anyone who knows what it takes even without HC experience is this man.

 

[Jauffre]

No Q.

He's a vile POS of a human being.

The last coach we won with was also a vile POS, so obviously Q will work out!

 

[Leonardo87]

Exactly fire the coach not the 11.6 million dollar guy who can not play playoff hockey anymore. It is what it is.

Listen, if a new coach can turn Panarin into a person who gives a crap, especially when it matters the most, then all good. I just have my doubts.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Drury should fire himself

 

[NCRanger]

Incredible.

Back to back 105+ point seasons and out after two years.

This franchise basically just sucks. No stability.

I’m not going to defend Gallant, but it seems like this is being overlooked.

I do realize the majority of the people who post here would be happier with 73 point seasons for the next ten years while drafting “talent” and “rebuilding”.

Count me in. Honestly I think even if he cared he just can't play the style needed to win. He makes it to easy for the opponent. Tons of turnovers and has no ability to get to the middle of the ice anymore

Stop trolling with the Messier stuff lmao, he can barely put together a string of words without fumbling. Tons of empty cliches, no depth. Would be a disaster.

It is impossible for turk to 180 the way he treated the vets here for 2 years and suddenly be a tougher coach on them. if drury is committed ot these players (ugh) the only option was to bring in someone else that can present a different level of authority to the vets right from the start. i again would not be surprised if babcock was involved in this seach in some manner.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Well Lavi, you played a dozen games with us, how'd you like to be the next head coach?

 

[Breaded Fox]

Stop trolling with the Messier stuff lmao, he can barely put together a string of words without fumbling. Tons of empty cliches, no depth. Would be a disaster.

So because he sucks at TV he wouldn't be a good coach?

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Brooks breaking the news = Sather is still in charge

I feel like everyone here called that a couple of years ago.

A lot of people know what it takes to win but a coach’s job is a hell of a lot more than that.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Good, the YOUNG players spoke up.

 

[RGY]

Need a coach that will swallow their pride and adjust to the opponent they’re playing, especially in a 7 game series, but even throughout the year. We left points on the table because Gallant just shoved his system/structure out there no matter who they were playing, even when it wasn’t going to work.

They needed to play a tighter neutral zone game against NJ to slow their game down. They made no changes throughout the series.

You had guys not giving 100% effort. Fox with the laziest f***ing play I have ever seen. No accountability

 

[MrAlmost]

I'm not sure if it's the right move but here we are. The team construction last year was better by the playoffs and I think Drury did a great job until the Kane trade. That trade wasn't what we needed. We should have just added that to the Van trade and gotten Garland at 50% when they were in trouble and looking to make changes. Would have added the speed and forcheck we clearly needed. Hopefully they go back to the value moves this offseason.

 

[NYR Viper]

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Patrick Roy as an option. He and Drury know each other…

 

[MysticLeviathan]

important point.

Does his analysis on ESPN allude to him being some kind of tactician? We keep talking X's and O's, like that's the kinda guy we need. Does Messier really seem like that guy? He'd be another players' coach.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Yep. I thought the Trouba interview was very telling. That loooooooooong pause.

 

[Chaels Arms]

We know characters like Panarin, Zibanejad, Kreider etc. would never have said a bad word about Gallant. He let them run the show and do whatever they wanted.

Feedback from exit interviews has to be people outside that little clique (likely younger players and Shesterkin) not liking the way things were done.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

GG really lost that room. The players want accountability.

 

[LOFIN]

Seems like a familiar story with Gallant, get immediate success, also fairly quickly outwear your welcome.

Our vets sure did put up a good face at the break up day saying how great Gallant was. Are they all great liers, or did the kids and Russians speak up?
