The last 2 seasons have been brutal hockey. Maybe if the team played this style with more passion it would be entertaining?
Are you referring to the Flames or Hurricanes (or both)?

The Flames? Absolutely. I agree. My biggest complaint of the GG era was the games weren't fun to watch.

The Hurricanes? Not that I watched all 82, but the games I did see did not remind me of Flames games.

Peters running the Flames won't result in identical play, but he does coach a style that Treliving clearly wants. Possession based. There are parallels between the coaches but enough differences to make this appreciably different.
