Mike Babcock and now Bill Peters death watch

[puckhead]

One preseason game lol.

But he did play a lot for Randy and does admit that he was, uh, bad (and this is from a player Randy probably liked lol) so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

In re-reading his tweets, it seems more like a "guys in the league talk to each other"
Basic point remains... Commie isn't alone in his opinion.

“Protege” here is Bill Peters

What says you @dash ?

What says you @dash ?

If proven he has to be fired

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I mean, I knew there was a chance of a domino effect from firing Babcock but who would’ve expected this lol

What says you @dash ?

Man, if true, this is really awful and I think there's no way Bill Peters can remain as coach of the Flames. Might as well clean house and get rid of the guy who hired him as well.

Also, this "news" can't make Oliver Kylington feel all that comfortable.

 

[blindbaby]

Yeah, really.

Can I still call Mike Commodore a whiny bitch, though?

Commodore's obsession with Blabcock seems a bit unhealthy to me. I picture him as "Shooter McGavin" getting Joe Flaherty to come and fuck him up. I could also picture him as Emmet Walsh going after Navin Johnson, a la The Jerk.

Absolutely. But how are they going to "prove" something that happened years ago? If there was any evidence of it happening and it was investigated at the time, surely Peters would already have been disciplined for it already?


But this is a convenient time for any player with an axe to grind to bring stuff up now. Gonna have to go get some popcorn and settle in.

Other people in the room have to corroborate IMO. If this was a dressing room incident there were 20+ other guys in there.

I didn't read Akim's whoel thread. it goes beyond just name calling.
Accusing Peters of cratering his career

Aliu added: "First one to ...admit I rebelled against him. Wouldn't you? And instead of remedying the situation, he wrote a letter to John McDonough and Stan Bowman to have me sent down to the ECHL. 20 year old on pace for 20 goals in his first pro year with zero PP/PK time was off to a great start in his ...Pro career."

The one good thing that may come out of all of this recent happenings is that the old boy hockey culture and associated code of silence might just go the way of the dodo bird. No player should have to go undergo mental abuse including mind games from their coaches and obviously any racial slurs need to be reported and dealt with harshly. You can understand the delay in players reporting these incidents as these coaches wield a tremendous amount of power and influence over a player's future, but hopefully this is starting to change.

Bunch of entitled white boy bullies!!

Not good for Bill.

Presumably easily verified and corroborated then?

Apparently so - I wonder who will be the next coach that the current Flames core of players will tune out in a season and a bit.

Two of Aliu’s Rockford teammates who were in the room at the time of the alleged incident, Simon Pepin and Peter MacArthur, independently corroborated Aliu’s account to TSN on Tuesday.

"I think everyone should be held accountable for their actions or words spoken," Pepin said.

Aliu said Rockford team captain Jake Dowell later confronted Peters about the incident in the coach’s office. Dowell could not immediately be reached for comment.

When Peters then called Aliu into his office to talk about it, Aliu said Peters did not apologize. Instead, Peters again expressed his displeasure in Aliu’s choice of music for the dressing room, with Aliu saying Peters said: “You know, I’m just sick of this n----- s---. It’s every day. From now on, we need to play different music.”
