Might be due for a shake up anyways, but they had quite a few key players injured too. Not sure it was worth firing him when others like the Isles (LAST IN THE FUCKING LEAGUE?!) are a lot more deserving.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Patrick Roy will save the Panthers!

Or.. Bob Hartley

Come back to the Sea Dogs Gerard!

That's not a bad idea...

 

[MetatronM]

Oh wow. Gerard Gallant fired.

MSG just reported this during the game, too.

 

[imBask]

Or.. Bob Hartley

I hope not, Bob Hartley is too good on the french radio I don't want him to leave

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I was expecting Fred Flintsone(Jack Cappuccino) to be fired first.

 

[MetatronM]

If that ended up in a goal, Raanta's pass would have been on highlight reels for the rest of the year.

 

[Quick]

Panthers better get ready, because they about to be blessed with some hanta yo.

 

[RedRum]

Can't even be mad at this game. Anderson is just schooling us.

 

[Yawnier]

So Florida's GM is gonna be their new coach? Uh ok that will be interesting

@FriedgeHNIC

Tom Rowe will take over as head coach in FLA.

 

[KernelPanic]

Tom Rowe will take over as head coach in FLA per Friedman.

Coach is the GM lol.

 

[MetatronM]

I can. Ottawa has been toying with us from the end of the first period until about 3 minutes ago.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Coach is the GM lol.

Are the Panthers tanking this year?

 

[Kifimbo]

A disaster is certainly interesting.

 

[MetatronM]

LOL at Anderson going for the empty net.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This seems to be the reason for Gallant's firing

Elliotte Friedman – Verified account ‏@FriedgeHNIC

Gallant was given extension last season, but this year he and front office disagreed on direction of the team. Things brewing behind scenes

 

[Pikma]

Stars are doing as bad as the the Panthers with a better(?) roster, why don't they fire Ruff again?

Even I could take that fucker's job, all I have to do is tell the guys to play the right way, not the wrong way.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Anderson's shutout completely fucked up my week for fantasy... Fuck you so much Anderson.

 

[zroid]

This seems to be the reason for Gallant's firing

that makes sense. panthers gone all in on analytics. Gallant is old school.

their GM being the coach ensures a more complete top-down organizational buy-in.

 

[imBask]

so Panthers GM wanted to keep fucking up the team and Gallant said it was a bad idea, got it

 

[Yawnier]

lol omg

@CanesCntrySBN

As if this night wasn’t any more bizarre, Gerard Gallant is currently waiting at the PNC loading dock for a cab to pick him up.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Lose to the Canes, get fired.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

lol omg

Omg

 

[Syrinx]

lol omg

Lane Kiffin'd.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Sounds like Panthers also fired Assistant Coach Mike Kelly.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Sounds like Panthers also fired Assistant Coach Mike Kelly.

Burn it down

 

[Syrinx]

If everybody is going to react this way to losing to Leighton then we need to make him the starter.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Coach is the GM lol.

We tried this before...it was a disaster.

Are the Panthers tanking this year?

We really shouldn't fucking be. Yeah losing Hubey for most of the season and Jussi/Bjugs etc early on was really bad. I imagined them limping along at least in a WC spot until Hubey got back but this is crazy.

This seems to be the reason for Gallant's firing

Can't say I'm surprised.




Absolute disaster. Rowe has no fucking business coaching an NHL team, he was the AHL coach this time last season mind you, and this is only going to be a disaster. I had serious issues with Gallant and player usage but he was hardly at the end of line like with other coaches. This is some serious overcorrection to a problem with injuries and new personnel. My gut feeling is like the Keenan-Martin era of rolling disasters. Oh and Willie just retweed some of the power struggle stuff.

Just when it was looking fucking better they go and fuck it up.

 

[ElephantShell]

This reeks of overreaction from Florida.

You should have accepted anime into your heart. Jesus won't answer prayers. Anime will

Spoiler

in all seriousness sorry this is stupid

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

This is a good thing, dude ran PP last 3 years and and it is still in the bottom of the league.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I feel bad for you Dubbed. I'm really surprised that Gallant was fired.

I thought the Islanders would fire their coach first

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Last year we really got lucky and a 12 game win streak saved the season from a similar start.

Like them addressing the lack of offense from the blueline by moving Gudranson and Pysyk has been really solid. IMO they gave Matheson the keys too soon. Injuries is skewing the start, and this is their answer, shit wont make a new Achilles grow any faster.

 

[zroid]

one ottawa team with a shutout against a division leader

the other ottawa team with a chokejob for the ages

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

 

[Cake Boss]

Lmaooo OTTTAWA, we can't have nice things 🙄

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Lmaooo OTTTAWA, we can't have nice things 🙄

There is still a chance!

 

[ElephantShell]

This is a sad visual.

 

[calder]

Lol like loose cannon father like shit disturber son

 

[Cake Boss]

That treatment seems Melnyk esque.

 

[Holiday]

Perhaps in the summer the Panthers will be interested in the services of one Ken Hitchcock.

 

[zroid]

Perhaps in the summer the Panthers will be interested in the services of one Ken Hitchcock.

i thought he was retiring!

although... we all thought LouLam was retiring too

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I'm sure there is some West Point grad they will appoint to the position.

 

[Holiday]

The last speculation I remember was that he will only be leaving the Blues. Could be wrong though.

 

[Foggy]

Congratulations DubbedCats, you just played yourself

 

[bonesmccoy]

Florida just needs to bring some character (Hunwick) and grit (Polak) back to their blue line. I always said that Gudbranson was the glue that held it all together.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Lmaooo OTTTAWA, we can't have nice things 🙄

Congrats Cakey!

Henry Burris finally did it

 

[zroid]

REDBLACKS!!!!~!!!!!!!!!@@

 

[lamaroo]

If everybody is going to react this way to losing to Leighton then we need to make him the starter.

Start him against Montreal please.

 

[MultiJhonny]

WE R WINNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Wow that was an amazing finish to the football game
