I'm waiting for an official handling of the situation by the team that has official record from Aliu, Peters, the other players present at the time and anyone else relevant to the incident. Peters may get to release a statement, or he may not.
We aren't the people that get to say case closed.

Last time I looked I had bugger all to do with hiring or Firing anyone in the Flames organization, in fact I'm fairly sure none of us here have.
Correct me if I'm wrong but to the best of my knowledge we are just a group of hockey fans expressing our distaste that Peters has done something morally repugnant

Zero chance of that unless King and Treliving want to be walked out after the public backlash.

Forget players, you'll lose fans and public support.
Hell, I'd go to a game and throw my jersey on the ice.

I'm not talking about this situation specifically.
In general, are you ok with someone's life being able to be instantly ruined by an unsubstantiated tweet? You're also ok with corroboration claimed through a media outlet as enough evidence?

It’s totally fair game to want to understand what Treliving knew of Peters’ reputation before hiring him. To me that doesn’t make Treliving in any way complicit with a racist.
What does anyone here think was common knowledge in hockey circles about Peters? Does anyone really think the public flagellation or Lack was atypical of how he behaved behind closed doors? He had a great explanation for the media on that one but the question simply is, how well did Treliving know the man he was hiring? And did he do enough work and/or prioritize the right qualities when hiring him?
As I said I’m not making any judgments of Treliving here. Other than I’m skeptical about his ability to hire the teams’ head coach simply based on who he has hired.

What a comically bad hill to die on. You were warned though, I don't know why you would double, triple, or quintuple down.

I got it guys....
He's actually Bill Peters still in a hotel room, bored out of his mind, and trying to find ways out of this unscathed. Spoiler alert: he can't.
