I can't really judge that because I'm so far from the team, but, I know Hartley had an incredible time trying to motivate last year's flames team--perhaps even failing worse than Brent--until a couple of trades. After the trades, the team began to do what they are doing now, compete based on drive and team play, while being underskilled and undersized compared to their competition, a stark contrast to their woeful team game of the months/years preceding.
