Hartley has separate rules for judging veterans and rookies, and it's extremely frustrating to watch. Seeing Glencross lazily try to swat at the puck on the pk and directly cause the 2nd Wild goal is enough to make me turn off the TV right there as we know he won't face any kind of repercussion from Hartley. Same thing with Jackman and McGratten, they do nothing to help the Flames on the ice but are played over guys like Baertschi who has directly contributed to several victories
If I was one of the young guys on the Flames it would really grind my gears knowing that I was being judged on a different arbitrary scale
