So, I guess it depends on if you feel we have the players to win at a better rate than we're currently winning. As somebody said above (too lazy to scroll up, sorry), we said we'd be a playoff team with league average goaltending. Well, our goaltending has gotten *worse* and we're still in the hunt. Peters obviously doesn't feel we have the players to do any better than this. Francis evidently disagrees.
I guess whether you think he should stay or go comes down to how much of the blame for the off-seasons from Skinner, Rask, Faulk, Darling and Slavin is his fault.
I'm personally starting to side with him. He takes a lot of crap for his line combos, but is there really a great way to put together our motley crew of forwards? I don't think we can blame Darling on him. And Faulk, Rask, Skinner and Slavin have all played fantastically previously under Peters, so I feel that's on the players, and not the coach.
If we miss the playoffs this year, Peters probably gets fired. And I don't think that's a bad move for anyone.
