This might be more of a coaching tweak... maybe he views BP as a better leader and motivator than GG. I wonder if BT has a hand in who the special teams coaches are this season, because (as it has been said many times) if our PP was at least somewhat competent we'd probably still be playing right now.

No, we'd just all be a little less annoyed by the fact that we can keep talking about the underlying numbers without any tangible results. The PP didn't help matters but it wouldn't have amounted to an 11-12 point swing in the standings if it were even mediocre. You could tell this team was done in late Feb when they just reverted back to the same team they were the first few weeks under GG the year before.
I don't want to see this same flaccid system again - not only is it boring to watch, I think it is more suited to a team with a much higher skill level than the Flames currently possess on Forward. Peter's is the safe move to make imo and likely the one that is most likely to amount to the same or similar result.
