Bill Peters doesn’t love his team’s reliance on dramatic comebacks

If you’ve flown a lot or know somebody that has, you’ve probably heard the joke “any landing you can walk away from…” to describe a bumpy flight. The conceit is that at least you didn’t die, so in theory the flight was a success.

Based on his comments following his team’s 4-3 overtime comeback victory, Calgary Flames head coach Bill Peters isn’t a huge fan of that joke.

The two big discussion points post-game were the wholesale changes to the three defensive pairings and the dramatic comeback. Peters discussed both at some length in his chat with the media, and he did not hold back.
