to me this clearly indicates what Flames management was thinking
1) special teams absolutely sucked and killed this team this year. with a half decent power play this team could still be playing hockey right now. goodbye assistants that had special team responsibilities
2) The players took too many nights off this year, came out flat too many times at home, and basically looked like one of the laziest and spoiled teams in the NHL. Goodbye nice guy buddy buddy players coach. Hello Mr take no shyte coach.
so the question is what's next. As much as the players and everyone insists that there weren't problems in the room, just the fact that this team played lackadaisical and there were too many players that took too many nights off tells me that there has to be a problem in the room between players like MT and Gio and the guys that hustled their $$$$$ and the guys that didn't. For all we knew Peter's might go in and the first thing he does is gathers the leaders of this team wearing letters and tells them to turn in their letters.
