Flames Bet Big on Bill Peters
April 25th, 2018 The Calgary Flames underachieved in 2017-18 for a lot of reasons. They couldn't score. Their power play was awful. But ultimately what cost Glen Gulutzan his job as head coach was that the team was collectively less than the sum of their parts. The Flames were without a head coach for six days, as general manager Brad Treliving...
