It's not one of those things that you can necessarily quantify but I really do think that Hartley's attempt to make this organization more family orientated while keeping things light-hearted and fun is going to be beneficial for us in the long run. I'm thankful for all the Sutter's did for Calgary (moreso Darryl) but this place was a total pressure-cooker over the last few years... a changed approach could help mitigate some of the terrible mental issues this team has had recently.
As for Irving... the kid has been wanting a shot for a while and now he's got it. Hopefully he can hold the fort until Kipper comes back. Hopefully the rest of the team actually plays for the backup.
