Great move, he almost made the playoffs a few times in his 4 years with Carolina.

The guy has a .500 record and no playoff experience. How is this an improvement?

I'm guessing AV didn't want the job?

Because that's all that's important, right? Goaltending, below average shot %, and 10-15 mill below the cap had nothing to do with it I guess.

Bill Peters accepted the job because he thought Eddie Lack was still on the Flames roster. He loved him so much in Carolina.

How do you Flames fans feel about the new coach? Seems like the players didn't want GG to go...

Bill's a good coach. Kind of.

Great systems guy. Terrible personnel guy. His line deployment is atrocious and he tends to focus on playing not to lose and punishes players for pushing forward offensively.

I didn't want him to get fired either, but it happened, so I'm happy with Peters coming in. Like many fans from all teams, many flames fans are only looking at win/loss records, and playoff experience. People seem to only look at results, which are very important, but there are many factors that play into results. Coaching being a very small part of that.

Love it because it doesn't make the Flames any better, Canucks should be looking down at them before you know it

I don't think there's a coach out there that hasn't had their deployment female doged about. Babcock, Trotz, AV, Q, the supposed best of the best have all been questioned on their personnel choices this season.

Calgary's problem is not the coach. The last 2 were really good ones. Calgary's problem is on the ice. They need more leadership up front. ..or else one more scoring forward. They are just not a team to dominate anybody right now and when they don't win the squeakers, they miss the playoffs. I thought their coaches got a lot out of them these last 3 years, but they need to take a few more steps forward with players.
