On the subject of Hartley:
He's a good coach providing us with the most entertaining hockey we've had in years. Coaches have been the brunt of everything for the past 6 or so years, how many do we have to go through before people are happy with what we have? You can't just go out and get Mike Babcock, that's not how it works.

This year, the team is entertaining and competitive DESPITE being pegged for last and looking absolutely wretched on paper. No credit to Hartley on this? Fine. But before we go talking about him ruining the development of Sven (and ignoring how he treats Brodie, Monahan, Bouma, Colborne, and pretty much every prospect or young player with a lot left to learn) lets all take a step back, and relax.

It's kind of incredible that he sits one prospect who has a bad game and suddenly he's he shouldn't be coaching in the NHL and the sky is falling. YEEZUS.

You must be new to CP.
