Brent had this team in the bottom 5-10 in the standings after 35 games a couple of times and was the coach during a 9 game losing streak. On top of that letting 8 in against the Oilers the day of trade deadline with your starting goalie, franchise player, and top Dman recently traded is not surprising. Do you think the players had the game on their mind that day? They all thought they were getting moved

Fair enough. I don't hate Hartley and i'm willing to give him a chance but i hope he can get these guys, especially the younger ones coming in, to commit to playing defense at least for next season. I figure it's going to be an important topic during training camp.
