It seems that people forget the hype of when B.Sutter took over the team. Many people projected that we'd improve from where we left off. I think everyone knew that the future was iffy with an aging core, but at the time, we were supposedly still in the window to compete according to many analysts and fans. The expectations didn't drop until Sutter's 2nd season.
Maybe Hartley will prove to not be the right coach and I'll support firing at that point, but it's really unfair to compare his results to Sutter's.
