I'm not a big Hartley fan but it's way too early for the pitchforks. This is the hardest playing Flames team since 2006 and I have to give him credit for getting the players to play hard every night. Unlike most here I'm not that high on Backlund as I feel he's not going to amount to much more than he is so I don't have an issue with Hartley challenging him to be better because he's not living up to his draft status quite frankly.
