Gerard Gallant was a coach of the year finalist last season after guiding the Florida Panthers to a division title and the best regular season in franchise history. The Panthers fired Gallant and assistant coach Mike Kelly on Sunday night, and announced the moves publicly on Monday morning. The firing came after the Panthers' 3-2 loss at Carolina - one that dropped Florida to 11-10-1, good for only 10th in the Eastern Conference.
