All the game film is out there. You can’t tell me that a gm knows more because he knows who had the runs before the game and who didn’t. And that’s why someone played better than someone else.

And I think its arrogant to assume that fans know anywhere near as much as hockey people about hockey.
As far as coaching and Bill Peters go
Treliving has worked with Peters before
Has the opportunity to talk with players who've been coached by Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with coaches who worked with Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with other managers about Peters
Has the opportunity to talk with Peters himself
Has a video coach at his disposal who he can assign to break down video of Peters' teams
Has a stats guru at his disposal who he can assign to do statistical breakdowns of Peters' teams
You have none of that information.
So no, fans don't have anywhere near the same amount of information about a coach and its frickin preposterous to suggest you do. Assinine take. Give your head a shake
