With no financial restraints (according to Treliving) why not hire both Sutter & Peters? Surliest bench ever!

With all due respect evaluating if Peters would be a good or bad hire by listening to fans, is in my view, an awful way to go about that assessment.

Or to put in another way - I don't care what fans say about him. Fans are often wrong.

I never heard him speak, did he do interviews?

Ottawa fans were very right about Cameron though.

Weird - I can't tell what your complaint is exactly. You can't be mad he was fired because you think the last season's were garbage. They haven't hired anyone yet so you can't be unhappy about the new guy.

Hockey Canada also likes Willie Desjardins, doesn't mean we want him here. And Dave Cameron coached the Canada club at the world juniors that blew a 3-0 lead to lose gold in 2011.

Me either but I'm not going to declare instant gloom and doom. And it hasn't even happened.

Brent Sutter was a WJC stud coach.

New coach will have their guys, would likely be an impedance to a new hire having an old assistant hanging around.

That said, I agree if the PK was his, it was acceptable. They ragged on special teams a lot, but it was only the PP that was a disaster. Accountability should be specific!

Just odd that Trelivng says money won't be an issue bringing in a new coach. Then have everyone and pretty much their dogs know Peters is their guy? His current salary is 1.6m or something like that.

Unless he meant that the money has been spent already and the owners are happy with the cost I.E Peters is already in a contract agreement with the Flames.

Why do I keep reading that Gerard Gallant was a loser before Vegas? What a crock of ####.

He was a good coach for 3 years in Florida. Hell, Cali damn near had a conniption when that loser GM (or was it ownership?) fired him. A lot of people in hockey were shocked when that unfolded.

WTF, did I miss something? Last I heard, the Peters talk was still nothing more than a rumor at this point.

It was advanced stats that fired Gallant. The numbers werent adding up. And thats as close to the truth as there is.
