So did Treliving fill in Holland about what you are saying of Neal before trading him? Should he have?

Man and I thought the Hartley stories were bad. Let’s get a decent human being as the next head coach

I understand why he isn't employed as an NHL coach, but don't consider his time employed by the Flames as a joke.

It's a shame he rolled 4 line regardless of whether or not the team was down a goal with 5 minutes remaining in the 3rd period.

Bitter people make false accusations all the time, let's see if this goes anywhere before bringing out the pitchforks.

Lol, you’re a mess.

Sure. But even better, I would rather see the Flames simply perform to their potential and win, without any baggage

I think that is what most people here want.

His hiring was a joke, which was my statement. GM hires his best buddy who never would have gotten a job elsewhere. I’m glad the Flames actually experienced some success in one of his seasons, but I personally attribute little of that to Hartley.

Which was all posted immediately after the rumour broke. Of course you don't post anything I wrote after his story was collaborated because you have tried to troll me for years. What is wrong with wanting more info? Oh right, that does not fit your trolling agenda.

I was obviously totally wrong to doubt Aliu's report, get this pos out from behind our bench.

All I know is even if Peters admits it and apologizes and he keeps his job somehow I don't see how I can support this team while he is still head coach. That is inexcusable, I believe I would have to take a long break from Flames hockey and would always be pissed off at the team.
Obviously there were questions before the whole story was collaborated which is what I was looking at, there is nothing wrong with that. Now go back under your bridge of patheticness until the next time you get an urge to troll me or someone else. Some people really out their character on here and you can just shake your head.

My character in outing you? Lol.

Are you so obtuse, to not allow the facts to come out first? Instead you jump to conclusions and victim blame. Inventing a narrative, that Aliu had ulterior motives.

So yes, you’re as guilty as the Facebook lot crapping on the lad. Good for you in recognizing that you were wrong, but understand you already spilled the milk.

pretty big difference in having doubts on a hockey board about a person and the story without any facts coming out yet, and going to someone's facebook page and posting vile crap.

You really think that award goes to someone based on their coaching ability? I guess Hartley is just being selective on his next opportunity. Good for him. I’m sure Feaster is too.

I didn't invent anything, I speculated as did many others before we knew what happened and that was in my first post but you went out and cherry picked my early posts to try and stir the pot which you have a history of doing with my posts. I understand exactly why you did what you did because it has happened before and I have no interest in dealing with your pathetic attempt to get me into trouble. Here is an idea, contribute to the board with your own thoughts and opinions instead of trying to bait posters into infractions.
