Guess what? Iggy's gone and the team is finally playing like a team, working their asses off, and playing the whole 60 minutes. Is that due to coaching? Nope. Just a coincidence.
Hartley has done wonders with this team. I've enjoyed watching every game so far. I don't care if they lose every game this year as long as they keep playing with the drive and enthusiasm that Hartley has instilled into his players. They've been a pleasure to watch (for a change)... mistakes and all.
Bravo Hartley... keep up the good work!
P.S. I wonder how many people on this board would take Iggy back now? Not me. IMHO, Iggy was a coach killer. Glad he's gone. Let the good times roll.

Swap Iggy's name with Bouwmeester and you've got just as valid an argument. In fact, the team started missing the playoffs when they added Jay and a full season of Jokinen.
There's definitely reasons the coaches Calgary employed after Darryl Sutter aren't currently head coaches of other teams, and 2 of the 3 before Hartley made the playoffs.
