I would say they have got better results than their play has indicated and that likely is to even out as the season gets longer. I think I had them 27-28th this year basically because they seem to have guys who give a crap unlike Florida and one team always seems to go off the rails completely (Buffalo) and so far it still looks that way.
Hartley was a terrible coach before coming was terrible last year and at best has been meh (based on having nothing to work with) this year. I am fine if he stays for a couple years and takes the losses during the rebuild. He sure doesn't mind losing so he is fine for what is going to take place in the next 3-4 years but hope once the team starts to improve its talent and looks like it is ready to turn the corner he is canned for a real coach that can help this team turn into a contender.

Sometimes I agree with your posts (I even agree with parts of this post) but you are the biggest negative Nancy in this forum. It's good to play devil's advocate to show the majority the other side of the story but you are just so damn negative. Moon, I wonder like most people here, are you really a Flames fan?
