On Peters, I don’t put much stock in what he has to say on his hiring day. Did Gulutzan say something bad on his first day to lead us to believe he was a bad coach? I think most coaches will say the right things on day one regardless.
I put more stock in his track record and hard facts.
- Losing record as a coach in the NHL
- None of his teams have qualified for the playoffs in the NHL
- Medicore coaching record in the AHL (Didn’t Win a playoff round)
- Average coaching record in the WHL (outside of one excellent year)
- Terrible coaching record in College hockey
- Won a playoff round in only 1 of 10+ years over 4 different levels of hockey
- Not sure if other candidates were considered
Do I want him to succeed in Calgary? Yes, I’m a Flames fan. Do I think it will work? Based on his track record, no.
Treliving and Burke should both be fired if Peters doesn’t work out.

Are we pretending his four international gold medals don't count now?
Gold Medal at the Ivan Hlinka
Gold Medal at the 2015 and 2016 World Championships
Gold Medal at the 2016 World Cup
Good chance he gets a 5th gold medal this year too.
If he's good enough for Hockey Canada and Mike Babcock he's good enough for the Calgary Flames.
