I was coming to say this. I have no information, but I sincerely doubt the coach says this to the media if that private conversation hasnt happened likely numerous times already.
"I told you, you didnt do anything or respond, now I'm telling everyone. Do something about it."
Besides, everyone knows that if you want to get through to Eddie you have to go through his dad.

Kootenay...I disagree...listen to the North American coaches of ANY sport coddle and baby their precious players...then, in contrast, listen to a UK Soccer Coach..."We were Rubbish!"..."He made a meal (mess) of his chances!"..."our goalie let in a howler!" and you can appreciate honesty and candor. Heck, in all the discussions, here at CP, on awful announcers, try the commentators for UK soccer as well. Enough bland, vanilla, head in sand, tire pumping, shills...call the damn game honestly, and criticize the obvious...WTH is wrong with NA atheletes that they can accept the glory, but, shrivel at obvious, and apparent truths.

It's a tactic some coaches use when other forms of motivation aren't working. It sucks but having your pride called out in public is going to have an impact. Can't really throw the coach under the bus without knowing what's going on.
The pregame radio show on 960 seemed to suggest Peters is an excellant coach who is recieving terrible goaltending.
Even Gulatson spoke highly of Peters and his system.
The analytics of the team are apparently very high and suggest a much better team thab the record indicates. The outlier stats are in goal.
So, no, I don't think he's a garbage coach.
I see his comments as expressing frustration on goaltending that he's probably expressed a number of times to his GM.
I actually hope they win the lottery this year (assuming we make the playoffs).
I second this.
IIRC, didn't GMs (or coaches?) from other teams state that the Canes were the smartest team in the NHL? That it seems every single one of their players are constantly in position?
The analytics of the team are apparently very high and suggest a much better team thab the record indicates. The outlier stats are in goal.
Not just in goal. Sure, Carolina's 28th in the league in even strength save percentage with a .911. But they're also below average in shooting percentage at even strength. Surprisingly, their goaltending on the PK is much better - not great, but it's 15th. If they had 15th place goaltending and finishing at evens, they'd be comfortably in a playoff spot right now.
As for the analytics, I assume you mean possession stats... They're 6th in the NHL in basic corsi percentage, but at this time of the year you have enough data to switch over to using fenwick close (the most predictive measure when you have enough of a sample to have signal outstrip noise). They're only 18th in the league at that. So it's a mixed bag, and it suggests that they're getting a larger proportion of shot attempts from the perimeter and point that are getting blocked.
