I blame Mike Keenan for the ruination of Jarmoe Iginla.
Under Keenan, he could do whatever he wanted to out on the ice. Since then, he played that style no matter who the coach was.

And I really think his attitude filtered down to the rest of the team.

Hartley, has changed the attitude in the locker room 180 degrees. I may not always agree with certain decisions that he makes on a day to day basis, and I don't care how he plays favourites sometimes (but most coaches do, I guess), but overall I like Hartley and the job he's done so far this season. He's been a pleasant surprise this year. I thought it would take a lot longer to dig the rot out of the team.
