The Flames went with a guy who has never won a round of the playoffs after 4 years.
I am disappointed in their decision. He may turn into a guy like Bob Johnson and take the team to new levels of success. However, usually it turns out like when they hired Hay or Gilbert or GG.
I'm hoping I am wrong, but Flames history suggests this will be a poor hire.

maybe its the all the beer ive been drinking, and when i drink i become optimistic. But Bill peters has never lost a playoff series as a head coach.
