The Calgary Flames unveiled their brand-new head coach this morning at the Saddledome, introducing former Carolina Hurricanes bench boss Bill Peters as their new coach. Peters and general manager Brad Treliving held court with local media and chatted a bit about the hiring, the fit, and where things go from here.
Arguably the biggest news item of the press conference came out very early: Treliving admitted that he didn’t speak to anybody else for the job. It was very evident that the ouster of Glen Gulutzan last Tuesday was very much about a specific type of upgrade behind the bench.
