Edit: (I included the Buffalo game, since that was his first game as HC, but an argument can be made that he wouldn't have had the chance to adjust the systems until two days later when it was official. Unless, of course, it was already "internally official" and was thus allowed to make changes to the systems. Regardless, he was at least allowed to make lineup and in-game decisions - which should be enough to be able to include the Buffalo game.) |
So the Flames were ranked 26th in the league in P% before Peters left, and in the time since he left until now have are ranked 9th in the league in P%. Wow. No doubt, Aliu is the MVP of this season so far.
Unfortunately, the Flames also had the most games played in the league at that time, before the coaching switch. 27 games already passed before the change.
Just a shame that the Oilers, Canucks and VGK have all improved their percentages to even higher levels than the Flames have.
