I don't think Hartley has made Sven a scapegoat. However, on the latest Globe and Mail hockey podcast, Duhatschek praised the way Roy has handled the young players on the Avs. The players say that when they screw up, Roy addresses it right away on the bench, tells them what they should have done, and by the next shift they're out there again and it's forgotten. He's letting them play through their mistakes. Seems to be working for the Avs so far.
