So far I'm liking him as the head coach of the Calgary Flames.

For starters, he definitely has that 'head coach' charisma. He exudes that kind of gruff collegiate-level coach that goes by meritocracy. When you see your head coach skating around in practice huffing like a bear and pouring sweat off his face, as a player you'd be thinking "Damn, I'd better not get outworked by this guy".

Another thing is adjustments. Before with Gulutzan, he'd be content to try and let lines work through cold streaks on their own. Whereas with Peters, he'd go "Square peg, round hole. Let's try something else." Drop pass entry not working? Let's have a look and try something else.

As was pointed out earlier, it would be a totally Gulutzan thing to do to stick with the same lines because, "Hey, they won the last game". It's very refreshing to see Peters, on a game to game basis, try his utmost to keep everyone alert and focused. Bennett, who has been fairly unspectacular but with good underlying numbers, is now promoted. Ryan, who has been alright but not contributing outside of strong-side faceoffs, is now demoted. Janko, who has been largely unproductive, is probably getting a benching. Nashville has one employed dirty rat scumbag in Rinaldo and a middleweight face-puncher in Bitetto, so that's my guess to why we are seeing Peluso in line rushes.

But these are coming by a game to game basis regardless of win or lose. Peters will not be satisfied with anything less than the best version of the Calgary Flames.
