I think on the PP he moves the shooters to their off-side, so we would see Johnny on the right, Gio and Dougie switch sides, etc. So there's that at least. None of that strong side, off the boards shot we endured under Cameron.

I think we’re all familiar with Paul Maurice’s record in Winnipeg before this season. He’s only made the playoffs twice since 2002.

Gerard Gallant as a head coach has made it to the playoffs one time before this season.

Mike Babcock coached the Leafs to dead last just two seasons ago.

Joel Quenneville (who everyone here wanted so badly) coached a team to a WORSE record than GG.

It’s not fair to judge Peters based on his past record. Good teams make good coaches, not the other way around. I’m not suggesting coaching doesn’t matter, but what I am suggesting is the idea that because Peters hasn’t had success in the NHL yet means he can’t have success in the future with a new team is garbage.
You could make the same argument to let GG coach out his contract instead of firing him.

There also isn't a single post in this thread from a Peters detractor that uses the word "hate" or anything close. This is just an attempt by some posters here to paint other posters' views in the most extreme way possible in order to silence them. It's a real shame, because I think there's valid points to be made on both sides.

I don’t see how anyone could be excited with Peters being brought in as coach, but okay.

Thanks for posting this. I started to go back through last few pages to find these hateful posts that have so many up in arms and couldn't find them.

A lot of people here don't like the hire. That's a fact that shouldn't get people upset, even if you are most pro-Flames cheerleader in the world.

I'm looking forward to seeing things shake out on the ice. Which considering we are still in the first round of the playoffs seems an eternity away for the Flames.

Something like this has been posted several times in this discussion like it's some sort of revelation.

Literally everyone knows that there are some coaches that were bad before they were good. Everyone.

The point is why would you, after two poor years, considering the core moving through it's prime years and the fact that you need to nail this coaching hire or you're gone, not hire someone you know can have success. Not someone who might be able to have success, but has never shown it at the level that matters.

It's an unnecessary risk, and it shows a dangerous insistence on a style of play which this team hasn't had any success with.

Peters does not fit the description of what he described. I'm really confused.
You mean does not fit the description of what you assumed he meant.

He said NHL experience was critical. And yes Peters has 7 years of NHL coaching experience.

We hear what we want to hear I suppose and the people who wanted Sutter or AV heard what they thought pointed to their wants.

I wanted Sutter or AV too. The money question caught my attention even though it seemed even then that Peters was the plan.

There is a high degree of politicking that goes into the role of GM and Treliving is a master of giving an answer without really saying anything.

I don't know much about Bill Peters, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he can do before passing judgement.

Yup.

Here is the actual quote from BT at the presser when asked about a replacement.

Quote:
"I think having experience in this league is critical," Treliving said.
Bill Peters has experience in the league....no question about it.

Not sure why people think Treliving lied.

The Rangers are at a perfect time to be doing so.

I think that's all anyone is asking of the anti-Peters group.

Before starting a fire Peters thread, maybe let him first actually get hired, have a training camp and play a few games maybe?

Dude wasnt my first choice either, but I know enough to know I dont know whether he will be great, horrible or somewhere in between. See what happens.

I think it’s also important to remember that Treliving has had time to have conversations with guys like Sutter and AV, even before he fired Gulutzan, to see what kind of interest they had. And being that he’s known to turn over every stone and be constantly on the phone with guys, I don’t find it ridiculous to believe he might have talked to both those guys and didn’t receive any interest on Calgary, should that position open up.

Do I think they got official interviews? Probably not. But do I think that Treliving has some sense of their interest in coming here? Absolutely.

I just don’t know that Calgary is that desirable of a market to everyone.

You listen to duhacheck, Francis, kerr and Steinberg on this issue and they will tell you your assumption is incorrect.

The feeling out there is that Tre hasnt done any type of legit deep dive on possible candidates because Peters is his guy. And he's comfortable working with Peters and he's gonna go with who he has comfort with.

get this coach wrong, Tre will lose his job.
People thought he took too long last time he made a hire and missed out on other possibilities.

If he hires Peters it's the opposite this time.

I have looked at the Hurricanes roster and it is that bad. They have some good young forwards but no D and terrible goaltending.

And we are using Mike Commodore as a serious judge of a coach's ability?

Peters doesn't do the D to D or forward drop pass as much as GG. He also had utilized Teravainen for one timers which is something I wanted to see more of from the flames.



- D are very active in the offensive zone
- D backs off the rush and collapses to the net
- D focuses on puck and puck carrier and leaves opposing players untouched around the net
- PP looks very similar to what we had. Perimeter shots, one D man at point
- Replace Teravainen's sniper goals with a Flames player shooting it wide

I never said deep dive. I said it’s entirely possible he’s called Sutter or AV to see what kind of situation he’s looking for, and it wasn’t this.

We don’t hear about every call between GMs, and I’m sure we don’t hear about every call between GMs and coaches.

No D? They have the best young D group in the NHL.
