Not really - And there's no need to personally attack me rather than the content of the post, which is exactly what you've done.
A couple points to consider
1) I explicitly brought up the fact that one of Gully's shortcomings holding the team back was his lack of aura (way back in December and even earlier). A number of posters thought the observation lacked merit then, but now they're jumping on Peters' aura now.
So some posters have gone from "aura is irrelevant" to "OMG PETERS'S AURA IS A HUGE POSITIVE," and yet somehow you're calling me out for having tinted glasses?
2) My position is that Aura is important is actually unchanged. I just don't think Peters' has it - is that a fair position? I think so.
His "aura" doesn't pass my eye test and I think its phony. He has a history of being condescending and demeaning to his players. He doesn't have a history of NHL success. So its a guy who hasn't really earned his stripes as a successful NHL coach that is acting like he has. Call me crazy, but I don't think millionaire players with big egos are going to put up with his "confident" demeanour for very long, especially if they don't have success right out of the gate.
