I don’t know. I mean they had the top record in the west last year 🤷‍♂️ I’d be pretty pissed/ embarrassed if Green had acted like that in the past. It’s embarrassing for the fans and organization In general.

That's true I suppose, I don't know if I'd be pissed though as long as they got rid of him, not my problem to deal with as a fan

Yup, they didn't have a choice.

I'd be pissed that the organisation hired a guy like that tbh.
Just like i'd be pissed if the team hired/signed that Russian wife beater creep.

Glad he got the boot.
Hats off to Cgy management for acting decisively and quickly once the story came out, but still, not a good look.

Fair enough, but you'd have to know about the previous conduct. A lot of this stuff that's coming out in recent years was never talked about back when it happened.

Ten years ago lol.

there's a statute of limitations on being a racist d-bag.

Peters has not been fired by the Flames, says Treliving, citing the ongoing investigation.

I know but why not when it happened, we used to call those black licorice babies n babies when i was a kid am I in trouble now.

The word he used was not socially acceptable or common for a white guy to say in the year 2009 either lol


The players didn’t say anything because they were scrubs, probably afraid that it would hurt their chances of getting another contract in the NHL or AHL

Well then, i take back my earlier comment about praising the organisation for their swift action.

He'll still get fired, the team is just going the process.

Thinking you shouldn't face repercussions for being racist towards co-workers in 2009 is mind boggling to me

I don’t blame them for doing their research. Innocent until proven guilty.

I know.
It was surprising it all happened so quick (and was then retracted).
You gotta think they know what kind of guy he is tho.

I wonder if Babcock was just the first domino? Peters was his protege I believe

Deal with it then. I wonder if peters was coaching in the US this wouldn't even come out. Don't get me wrong on the issue, racial slurs against anyone should not be tolerated anywhere, as a white guy I have been on the recieving end many times for no particular reason.

That Big Bang Theory extra (@Scouching)’s prelim 2020 Draft Rankings are the best I’ve seen by far. Button should hire that dude to make his rankings.

Not that it should make any difference, but he was in the US when it happened...

I wonder about the timing of all this with Akim Aliu? Playing into the Babcock firing? Players pushing back against old school hockey coaches. You'd have to think there's some other coaches who are nervous right now.

They could probably come up with a great title for their show too since Button looks like a stunt double from The Grinch movie
