Are we really ####ting on a coach that in his first year with the flames coached a non playoff team to first in the West? Coached about 5 or 6 guys to career years? who didn't really have a number one goalie all year? Let's step back and have some perspective.
I agree that this playoff run was bad and don't agree with many things he did during the run such as his obsession with line matching 3m to MacKinnon, sticking with certain line ups too long etc. But come on it's his first year. This team since GGs first year seems to struggle once the pressure is on and teams forecheck hard to take away space but I'm more than happy with Peter's having an off season to try to correct this. You need to learn how to win in the playoffs coaches included. It was his first year with the team and most of the players. If this happens next year I'm completely on board with the coach bashing but to ignore all the positives this year seems a little ridiculous.
