I think that Hartley is going a good job with the 6 24 and under players that are on the Flames roster.

I am very disappointed in how their development was stunted against the Oilers. They all got a lesson on be very careful who you hit because if they don't like it you are on your own. (Stempniak-Ferrence)

I think that part of the problem is the lack of anger that McGrattan takes into his role and that Hartley does not want to upset his delicate psyche.

It would not have ruined the Flames season to have a Flame 1) lining up next to Ferrence and offering to knock out some of his teeth. 2) Grabbing RNH or Eberle when Ferrence was on the Ice and rag-dolling him Ferrence style.

I would like to see what would happen if Ferrence grabs Williams on LA or Roy on St.L. or Lupul on the Leafs.

I expect that he would be in for a considerably more challenging evening then he was against the Flames.

Part of it the Flames roster, but it seems that Hartley does not have a high priority on all for one and one for all.
