Never thought I'd say this, but I would encourage anyone who wants an actual analysis and discussion of Peters' work to head to HF and read the main board thread there. It's actually a decent discussion and good information, unlike this putrid embarrassing thread which has once again been ruined by some of the usual suspects.
I actually have hope for Peters now, given that the information relayed there is by actual fans who have watched him play and realize just how little he had to work with. Some are actually saying that since Calgary has a better roster and better skating D, it might actually work out here. The general consensus I got was that the 'Canes were due for a change as Peters' time had run its course. However he is actually a good coach who had little to work with roster-wise, terrible goaltending (sounds familiar), and given the right situation he can have success.
Other then a couple people who went to the one single 'Canes game this season and someone who watched a couple of their games vs other teams (and said good things about Peters), it seems that no one here has really bothered to watch ANY 'Canes games when it wasn't the Flames playing. And yet those same people are now have expert opinions and are able to magically see the future that this move is doomed to failure.
Funny how so much hyperbole has permeated this thread, and yet nothing has even been announced. And yet the actual fans who had him as their bench boss really do think he's a decent coach who just needed a bit more to work with.
A complete 180 of the perspective CP has vs what actual 'Canes fans think. I have hope now.
