In the recent interview of Peters posted here, when he starts talking in a cartoony voice and adds googly eyes to emphasize that everything starts with defence I instantly felt that if my boss talked to me like that I’d feel to some extent he is mocking my potential difference of opinion. From a hockey strategy perspective I believe defence 1st is broadly correct, but the Flames have been their relative (to the rest of the NHL) best when they played more offensively aggressive. This team has the horses to win you run & gun hockey games, but Peters may be stifling what our competitive advantage is with suffocating defensive priorities, lack of leash for systematic creativity. That said, I hope the dressing room sorts itself out internally and go on a run to shut all the Negative Nancy’s up.
