And agree I think that they would have likely given Peters the season, and I would have been okay with that.
I disagree about this though.
Bowness was talking about how he has interviewed for head coach jobs in recent seasons but hasn't been giving the opportunity since 15 years ago in Phoenix. And how he's so grateful for the opporunity to be head coach again.
Much like the Flames I don't think the Stars have brought in another coach yet either. Both these teams were forced to make a move they didn't want to make and now they are just assessing what they have here.

I'm sure Bowness is very happy being a head coach, but what I've heard for years is that he enjoys being part of a coaching staff and working with the players. Maybe that's saying all the right things in one or both situations, maybe in his heart Bowness really does want to be a head coach, but I don't think any team in the league is seriously considering him for that role and he must realize that by now if he hasn't gotten a shot as a head coach in 15 years until the interim role now.
I'm happy for him though, players all seem to love Rick Bowness which might be one reason the Stars are performing for him right now.
