BREAKING NEWS: Golden Knights fire head coach Bruce Cassidy, hire John Tortorella
In a bold move, the Vegas Golden Knights relieved head coach Bruce Cassidy with immediate effect Sunday, replacing him with John Tortorella.
Cassidy led Vegas to the Stanley Cup in 2023, and the Golden Knights (32-26-16) are third in the Pacific Division this season. But they have gone 3-5-2 in their past 10 games and 8-15-4 since Jan. 19, and are four points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings, the first team below the cut line in the Western Conference.

Leafs need Cassidy now.
Don't hire John Tortorella
I would like to hear from side show mel
This is the DUMBEST move ever!
Has the world run out of Hockey coaches?
Torts is a team destroyer! He's going to rip into these guys, you're welcome Marner.
Marners contract term just feels like it doubled
Well that explains it. I was thinking something between the players with VGK but Cassidy lost his team in Boston before being dismissed.
These guys won't play for Torts for long. His style doesn't work on the kinder gentler NHL stars
Did Jack Eichel get another coach fired?
If Toronto is letting Berube go hopefully they hire Cassidy
if torts does not get vegas a cup he better get fired
Adam Foote still has a job too
How is tortilla still alive?! He's useless. Not a knights fan but knights are going to be bottom bums
Cassidy will be in Detroit next season, if not this one
mitch will love johnny torts, love it.
What a mistake! This is not a coach issue! Terrible judgement on the owner's part and management! So you hire a ……
They will regret this and the players loved playing for Butchy. He won’t be out of work long that’s for sure.
Well scratch Vegas off Matthews landing spots
GM Kelly McCrimmon is the problem, he should have been fired. He is ruining a great team. It’s all over now 😢😢
He lost us almost every game after the trade deadline. He's done
Stupid move,Cassidy was doing fine,players were just not performing at their best,big deal, playoffs start they will get better
Forget torts ,nobody likes this jerk,and he is a jerk,hope vegas gets bumped off fast🙏🙏🙏and Blackhawks take Cassidy over Jeff, he is the better coach of all three coaches
This is a move Oilers should have made.
NHL coaches got fired one day and instantly hired next day by other clubs
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Goal tending is ranked where????
Good luck with that 😂
That's a down grade .
Marner how long before he gets a health scratch!😊
Marner is going to lose his mind, first time he points a finger like he did here, he will be in the press box
Tortorella is a disgrace and a shame. If I played in Vegas I would demand a trade immediately. I would NOT pay for that guy.
No goalie no wins
They’re not playing as a team, all individually like the Leafs
The product is on the ice, not behind the bench but if players and coaches aren't on the same page, you will have problems and Torts is definitely not the answer here. From a sports betting perspective, yes to some immediate wins on a coach bump.
