I like what Hartley has done so far with the team as a whole, but his choices for lineups has been questionable at best. Comeau has been one of the worst players in the league this year (statistically) and he has yet to be scratched, in fact he has been moved up due to injuries. Yet Sarich, who has looked good (and has a 2 mil price tag) is sitting AGAIN, even after the team put in a terrible, non-physical effort in the last game.
Take Butler out (his play has ranged from "not bad" to "pretty bad"), put Sarich in, keep Stajan with the Czechs, and scratch one of Comeau or Jones because they kill every play that touches their stick. I think Jackman and Begin have been fine for the team, definitely not the problem so far
Cammy - Tangs - Iggy
Glencross - Street - Stempniak
Hudler - Stajan - Cervenka
Those lines would win us some games, or at least not be unbearable to watch
