Yeah, that Hartley. Cutting Sven's ice time like he should earn it and starting MacDonald. Geesh.
Of all the nerve!
That aside, he is a winning coach for a reason and isn't oblivious to the stage of this team's cycle. He instilled an intangible into this team which could carry on for years.
I will cherish this young Flames era not so much for individual successes and team peaks, as much as the culture this man has instilled into this team. It's a die hard family, who will have it's share of losses. But I really believe they will care and band together.
The team up North? They are hardly worth this sentence. This brand of team is more than a quantum leap from them. I welcome a gif for that! Haha.
Winning matters here, even if it isn't always reflected on the scoresheet. I'm convinced of that, though I am 120 miles or more from the locker room.
