Carolina Hurricanes Coaching Decisions: Benching Teravainen Sends Wrong Message
Carolina Hurricanes’ Head Coach Bill Peters healthy scratched Teuvo Teravianen and others against Columbus Saturday night
Bill Peters is a coach whose mistakes are easily countable on one hand. Ok, maybe two if you really want to get picky. Sure there are quibbles about his fourth line usage, and the fact he loves to send out Ron Hainsey in 3v3 overtime. Overall Bill Peters guidance turned the Carolina Hurricanes into one of the most exciting teams in the league. Saturday’s game against Columbus, though, was the first time Bill Peters’ decisions made Carolina a worse team. Scratching Teuvo Teravianen wasn’t the right choice and it sends a message that isn’t the one most people think it is.
