Hartley showed last year that he was a bad coach, this year he made the team work hard at camp and the team really came together at the start of the season. Now that the other teams have come together too, we look bad by comparisson. Hartley has made bad decisions by benching players and by putting certain players together. He leans on his vets (I don't care what anyone says, he doesn't "punish" the vets in any way like he does the younger players). The Flames aren't a good team but he is making them worse with his bad decisions. He did this last year and he'll do the same this year.

That's not what I meant, you can't expect any coach to come in and turn another coaches team around. Last season was a feeling process for Hartley, getting a feel for the players as he went coz with the lockout there was no training camp or pre-season. Now he has gotten a few new players and seen everyone in training camp and in pre-season he has done OK as far as I can see. Then again what would Hartley know, he's just won a Stanley Cup and is paid as massive amount of money to coach. You on the other hand are not so I'll side with Hartley on this one!!
