Nothing I read in there that I find very convincing. The one part that stands out as a big positive would be the reduction in penalties taken, but the other points don't say much. The first stat he lists in support of Peters shows Carolina leading the league and the Flames at 4th. So is moving up three places going to be the difference maker or does the fact that both teams were way up there while missing the playoffs suggest it's not all that critical an item to care about?

Also, stating that the Flames under GG play a style more conducive to sustainable winning does not match the reality of their record. They last made the playoffs on the back of one huge win streak, which was then not sustained in the last few games or into the playoffs, and this season they got into a playoff position on the back of another long streak which again could not be sustained. They have mostly sustained losing hockey with seasonal bursts of winning under GG. Go ask the snake if it looks like a style conducive to sustained winning.
