from Rory Boylen of Sportsnet,
Don Cherry sounded off on the decision and how Gallant was dismissed by the team.
"I've been involved a long time in hockey," Cherry started. "I’ve seen bad firings, I’ve been fired myself. I thought in Colorado it was rather bad. I have never seen anything like this. This is the worst firing in the history of (the NHL).
"They fired the guy after the game, the players are sitting on the bus. It was a great headline I saw ‘dumped at the curb.’
Images of Gallant catching a cab himself after the game went viral on social media and led to attacks against the Panthers for how they prepared for the firing. Gallant wanted to clear up any wrongdoing by the Panthers on that front to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on Thursday, telling Friedman that he just wanted to get out of there and not wait for the car service the organization had called for.
