Following Vegas' 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night, Gerard Gallant addressed the media in a post-game interview that didn't last very long.

During the interview, Gallant was asked a question about the Golden Knights' struggles against teams above them in the standings and their overall record against playoff teams.

The question did not sit well with the VGK's head coach and newly named All Star head coach of the Pacific Division.

It was a notion he quickly dismissed.

“We're negative tonight, aren't we? We're in first place, we've had a good run the last 20-some games,” snapped Gallant.

“So the whole league isn't a good league anymore? Like — come on. We just won a big game, what are we? 10-3-2, whatever in the last — did we not play good enough tonight to win? Were we not the better team tonight?”

As the reporter attempted to backpedal and clarify the question, Gallant brought the conversation to a hault.

“Yeah, that's it. The only teams we can beat are the bad teams — supposedly.”

Gallant then proceeded to rise from his chair, and effectively exit the press conference, clearly not happy with the line of questioning following a big win for the Vegas Golden Knights, who defeated the Flyers for just the first time at T-Mobile Arena.
