We have had serious goaltending issues, every notable veteran outside of Hudler and Wideman have been injured at some point, and we've had a rather tough schedule so far. Being higher up in the standings than we should be despite it all AND being entertaining while doing it is IMO no small coaching feat.
So yeah, I'd agree, at this point it seems that Hartley is the best coach we've had since Darryl.

Not only that, but we've only played 6 home games so far. Tied for fewest in the nhl
