The Vegas Golden Knights have fired head coach Bruce Cassidy for John Tortorella, leaving him for the replacement with eight games left in the season. The decision sparked widespread reaction among NHL observers, including NHL insiders Frank Seravalli and Brady Trettenero, who highlighted the ruthless nature of the Vegas Golden Knight organization. The team's performance has been criticized by some fans and some former players, including former player Eric Johnson, who commended Tortorello for his passion and fire. The move is seen as a bold move by the team, but there is precedent that it could pay off in the NHL.
