At what point do we become concerned Neal is becoming Brouwer 2.0?

Let’s go with Bingo being wrong about a coach he watched for 3 plus years... and let’s agree with you who has seen said coach for 2 months.

I see the upside and downside of his system.
The upside is he has the depth to play his lineup Tourette syndrome with this team. He’s giving Bennett more than a one shift chance on the second line. He’s plugged Valimaki and Anderssen into the lineup. And it looks like he’s relying on Rittich more.

The downside is he uses go to guys he had in Carolina like Ryan who has been dog poop for the most part (though he was scratched a while back) and kept giving Smith starts when everyone knew Smith wouldn’t cut it.

Oh I'm not saying Peters' system is perfect, I'm just saying it has been largely successful for the Flames for the most part. There's certainly some questionable player decisions and some drawbacks to the way he wants the Flames to play, but you can say that about any coach in the League. The positives far outweigh the negatives so far, in my opinion.

I wouldn’t be concerned about Neil. I thought he had one of his best games against the oilers. You could tell he stepped up the intensity and made things happen

Bill Peters is an absolute donkey! What he said about Dube is nuts! I’ve lost faith in BT as well. Can’t wait until both are history.

The announcers said 2 games ago that Bennett and Tkachuk love playing together. What was the holdup on not playing them together until now?

He is getting $650,000 to stop a puck. I do not.

I wouldn’t of broke that line up either they were probably are most consistent line and the one of the best shutdown lines in the league . But I’m happy Benny is ticking with those boys now.

Whoever says BP isn’t good enough is high. This team buying has been dominating a lot of games. If we had half ass average tending we would be leading the pacific by a good margin.

Still early I know.

Not Subban's fault. His team is hanging him out to dry. He's not letting in any softies or anything.

Vegas is looking like an expansion team in this one.

Agree. Peters has this team playing like a contender. Other than going back to Smith and over using Ryan, not much to argue with.

The last half of the 2nd and this 3rd period, Flames have looked sloppppppy. I get not putting your foot on their necks, but get Ritters the shutout boys.
