Calgary is not too small, maybe too weak and too stupid.
Here are some of the stats from other teams:
Calgary - Last in the west | average size is 72.8 inches and 195.5 lbs
Montreal - First in the east | average size is 72.1 inches and 197.3 lbs
Minnie - First in the NW | average size is 72.7 inches and 199.7 lbs
Boston - 4th in the east | average size is 72.9 inches and 200 lbs
Looking back, Hartley might not be the best guy. He gets scrambled and mashes up lines. I honestly don't like his player management. MacDonald played well last night but he should of played on the back2back and Kipper should of played last night.

Completely agree. They play in a perpetual state of panic like the puck is a hot potato.
This has been the case for at least a couple years now. I think Sutter's 'don't make a mistake' philosophy had a lot to do with it, but at the end of the day, it is on the players.
