They didn't give him a platform to deny the accusations or say he had never heard of it (Coach Q).
They didn't allow him to remain behind the bench as he was held out of any games in the interim.
There was no talk about how Peters was a good guy who just made a mistake.
And they did their own investigation and fired Peters before the NHL could even step in or do their own thing.
Compare that to how Chicago, Florida, and Winnipeg are handling this and it really does make me appreciate the Flames leadership team a little more again this morning.

And the story (from a Flames perspective) went away pretty quickly after that, vs the NHL dragging it's feet and doing nothing for Aliu. It turns out if you do the right thing and act immediately, it's not a big deal PR wise. By sitting on their hands and hoping people forget, Winnipeg, Florida, and the NHL are just making the story worse. Just proves that the league is run by out-of-touch dinosaurs stuck in the 80's
