As for Peters, a shame if true. While we shouldn't vilify him until proven true, we also shouldn't dismiss the claims as attention seeking. Not enough evidence, but people always want to jump to conclusions. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could fluke an Avs team full of All Stars to a cup too. That team was stacked. I loved that era of hockey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 "Turn off that damn n-word music" I can hear Dave Chapelle playing an old white guy and saying that haha Flames are sinking now big time, hopefully they finish 9th in the West this year.

Doing anything that shines a negative light on the internal workings of the NHL can get you shipped off to Siberia. Why would he wait until now? Well maybe because (1) his career is now dead, so he can speak without worrying about someone else killing it and (2) when you see the support Marner got from the media/hockey community, maybe that gives you a little more courage to speak out, knowing that other people have done the same and weren't crucified for it. Why would he wait all these years to lie about something now? Mike Commodore waited a few years before talking about Babcock and I don't remember people questioning him then. I understand why he didn't speak about it earlier when he still had a career. His NHL career has been dead for a while now, he could have said anything between now and then but didn't. Marner's situation might have had something to do with though. Good point. Edited November 26, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying Bill Peters didn't say these things, or just that you don't like the timing of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only a good fit in Calgary because of the number of scumbags on the roster. Personally I think Calgary is trending in the right direction since the Neal trade, they should keep the good run going.... bahahahaha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When still in the sport, I understand not wanting to stir up controversy. Whether playing in the ECHL, SHL, or KHL. Doesn’t matter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Darkstar Posted November 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Monty said: His last year playing hockey was 2018-19. Exactly. People here are absolutely insane. People tend to forget that the NHL is a rich, white-mans league. Aliu is out of hockey now so he doesn't care, but he obviously wanted a professional career, and you can easily be blackballed if you rat out your coach/GM. This also happened around 2008, which was a different time. Bill Peters comes across as a you know what. The way he treated Eddie Lack, and his general demeanor make me side with Aliu on this one. I think he'll be fired. Edit: Think of it this way. This whole Marner situation didn't come out until yesterday. I know it's not the same as racism, but you can make the same point of why Marner didn't bring this up back in 2017. It's a complicated subject, especially when it comes to professional hockey players making millions of dollars. I'm sure there's a lot more skeletons in this league that are much worse than these two situations.

His last NHL game was during the 2012-2013 season. (Edited my post to reflect that) But I get your point as well. If he is still playing hockey, at any level, he is probably afraid what other coaches would think of him if he calls out another coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but you seem to think that the allegations being made public ten years later is evidence that Peters never said those things. Otherwise, why would you bring it up in the first place? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duodenum Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 48 minutes ago, #Canucks said: No but looking at his career it was so short he had more than enough time to bring it up. Do you think he would have brought it up any other time? Or just now because it’s convenient? What's convenient about now? Is it more or less convenient than next year? Last year? I don't get it. People don't bring things up based on other's perceived "correct" timelines. He's not gonna bring it up while his career was still alive, too much risk. What's more convenient a time than when you are ready? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
