-He says 100% of players hes talked to appreciated what he said about Babcock
-He was encouraged to stay on top the Babcock hate by other peoples stories about Babcock
-Feels validated by all of the other stories coming out (ie Marner)
-The Babcock coaching tree (Peters) takes on many of the same qualities that Babcock does. Says that makes him sick to his stomach
-Says up until last week being under Babcock as an assistant was a good thing, now it's now
-Says Babcock thing is different than Peters thing, doesnt want to blame Babcock for what Peters did as much as he'd like to
-He says hes now the biggest leafs fans in the world after the move
-Says he can sense the cloud lifting over the leafs since babcock left in player interviews
-Thinks if more stories come out he might never get hired again, but thinks another owner or GM might hire him again based on his record
-Says babcock will try to hide his colors in the job interview but revert to old Babs
-Commie calls Peters quote disgusting, he doesnt know Aliu and doesnt recall ever playing with him
-in his opinion Peters is done and will get fired
-only reason he hasnt been fired is Flames are trying to be thorough to terminate the contract
-Says slim to none chance that Peters will ever coach again in NA. Would be shocked if he's on the bench tomorrow against Buffalo.
I was hoping he'd get more into his time with him as an assistant coach in Detroit.
