        Vegas fires Gallant and replaces him with DeBoer, who had been fired by San Jose earlier this year.

        What the what?

            The new rule for the All-Star game is that the coach of the winning team gets to keep his job.

                Vegas shows that a .601 win pct as coach isn't going to cut it. Seems reasonable!

                Everybody saw the result in St. Louis last season and wants to recreate that magic. Copycat league and all.

                            It's going to be great in a few years when Red Wings fans reminisce about Howie and how the Wings pi**ed themselves instead of giving him some defense and offense. (Ie: The ol' Osgood treatment).

                            I saw the news this afternoon and had the same reaction. I was like "Did the game against Buffalo end worse than the Wings game?" Checked the boxscore. Then became even more confused.

                            with how the Pacific is right now, they coulda been up two points on the whole division by Sunday night. I'm very confused.

                              The Wings are 12 points behind the rest of the league, and their absolute max is 97 points this season. If you're going to be bad, might as well be this bad.

                              I'm not a fan of firing Blashill until April. However, if they can get Gallant, assuming he didn't do something absurd to warrant this canning, maybe this is the move to make.

                                My wife saw on The Athletic that there are rumblings about Stevie wanting Lane Lambert.

                                Gallant's ties to the Red Wings makes him a very interesting potential choice (another long lost Wing coming home), and he seems to have turned his career around after the quick ego boost in the QMJHL. Starting from scratch (VKG) is a little easier (IMO) than trying to figure out which pieces to keep or move (ie: DET rebuild).


                                I do agree that firing Blashill now is the wrong decision. Depending on how long the rebuild is, it might be easier to pay Blashill to just ride it out for another year or two than to hire someone just to take the fall, or for Gallant/Lambert/Whoever to struggle for three years if the rebuild stumbles. (Unless Gallant is going to be the fall guy for two/three years?)
