I was at the game last night and it was pretty obvious that one of the reasons why we lost was because we got out coached... especially in the third period. It was clear that Torts saw what he was doing was not working so he adapted and split up the Sedins and it produced results. What does Hartley do? He shoves McGrattan out there and lines him up against Sedin with the game on the line in the 3rd period. Are you kidding me?! I think minor league coaches would have more sense then that. Hartley has also made a few head scratching moves before in the past. So what are your thoughts? Is he the right coach for this team? I personally don't see him as a Brian Burke rebuilding type of guy but I would love to get some other opinions.
