Peters might have derailed Aliu's mindset or something, but blaming the failure of your career on one person who cant possibly have that much NHL clout? I dont know. Something about that seems off to me.

I agree with jayswin...at best, we'll never really know. But blaming one guy for all your problems? That doesnt really jive with me.
Having a coach that called you a n**ger and demeaned you in front of your teammates couldn't suck the ambition and drive you had to be successful?

If he was really a star and had more talent that shouldn't have mattered?

What if that was your kid? That's the advice you'd give them? "Well it shouldn't matter as long as you're good at hockey, that'll show them".
