Those accounts leave little room for misunderstanding or fading memories. They are clear and cogent. In the absence of other witnesses who were in the dressing room that day coming forward and essentially alleging that Aliu, Pepin and MacArthur are conspiring to lie, I can't see how Bill Peters continues to coach the Calgary Flames. It may still take the Flames a little time to conclude the investigation (though I would be surprised if it tool longer than another 24 hours), but I think the writing is just about on the wall at this point. Stunning how quickly it has all happened.
