Why sit on this for so long if you're Akim Aliu?

Why sit on this for so long if you're Akim Aliu?

Waiting for a good chance for revenge ? I mean Carcillo sat on all the juniors crap for ages as well before throwing it out last year.

 

[serp]

About what i expected to be honest.

That this ruined his career i don't believe though .

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Why sit on this for so long if you're Akim Aliu?

Because someone calling him the N-Word is probably pretty normal for him. Sadly.

But, once someone comes out and a story gets traction then others feel inclined to speak up how similar has happened to them.

 

[Kipper 17]

Whoa

 

[serp]

And he's gone. No way that could've ended in any other fashion after the story was confirmed by multiple sources.

At that point in time, it was kinda throwing your career away if you spoke out against a Hockey Man in a league full of Hockey Men.

From all multiple accounts now that Peters seems to be a pretty bad person. Wasn't exactly popular while with the Canes either and the way they improved after he was gone doesn't exactly help his case for beeing a good coach

By the way if you read the comments under the Tweet posted you will see multiple people working for newspapers responding with questions. This could even uglier for Peters .

 

[serp]

Oh boy now its just pouring out . Not just the racism stuff but overall just misstreating people which honestly is often a given with people who say shit like that.

No f***ing way Bill Peters can stay Flames coach or coach again anytime soon.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Crazy, just read that Peters physical abused players on the bench


Safe to say hes done coaching

 

[Sports2]

Jake Dowell was captain at the time and confronted Peters about the Aliu incident. Knew he was a good one.

There is so much coming out about Peters now. If it’s true (and at this point it’s looking that way) I hope he’s done working in hockey for good we don’t need a racist POS in the game.

 

[serp]

What irks me even more than Peters and his awful behavior is that it was seemingly not just tolerated but aparently even rewarded . When the Canes players went to GM Ron Francis to complain about Peters acting like an asshole he had nothing better to do than to give Peters a contract extension. Like what the hell ?

With all the stuff pouring out now there's no way higher ups on teams didn't know how much of a POS Peters aparently was and how he treated his players. Didn't deter GM from giving that guy NHL jobs . Hell Francis and Treveling handpicked the dude to be exactly the type of coach their teams needs.

The racist stuff may not have been known to them but the other stuff already makes the guy completely unacceptable . Who the f*** thinks a guy who goes out of his way to punch and kick players is a coach that can win you anything ? What if a player at some point punches back ? Because that sure as hell seems justified to me .

 

[serp]

Something positive about someone on the Stars coaching staff . In general the 4 coaches seem to be good people. In general IRC in the Nill era there allways an emphasis on hiring good people its one of those things Nill allways talks about so they better be actually good people.

 

[redbeardtx]

Well, with Peters now pretty much done as a coach, Derek Ryan's career is probably over too

Sooo where has this been

 

[Smelling Salt]

Val just scored a SHG on a breakaway. High glove side...

Nice assist by Spezza . Callback to a couple of years back

Set a beatiful screen on Reilly so Nuke could get a breakaway.

Love this. Not necessarily that it's Val who scored, but just watching a Leaf implosion after the coaching change would be epic.

 

[Kcb12345]

Yeah Val is elite now. Lmfao though Spezza

 

[mc3488]

Lol at the Leafs thinking they could compete without Polak

 

[Satan]

Val keeps scoring baby
