i'm fine wiht hartley for the most part.
My only concerns are his inability to have the team tighten the game up when it calls for it (ie. 3rd period leads). However, i think the choking we see is attributed to being a young team that makes mistakes, questionable goaltending, and not having the skill level to weather a storm when other teams smell blood.
if he can get the team to play hard for 60 minutes, he'll be considered a success in my eyes, regardless of results
