For me I'm framing it more as Gallant had a winning record and made the finals with the same team. They still fired him because they want to win and people respect that.
Now you have people saying to give Ward a chance because he is only 19 games in as head coach. That would be fair if this team was rebuilding, but myself and many others are frustrated as we would like to see the win now attitude implemented for this team.
Firing Ward would show other coaches and free agents that this team values winning. The type of free agents and coaches you want on the team would respect that in my opinion, the same way they do in Vegas.
Sorry I guess I didn't elaborate enough in my initial post.
