I just don't get the Hartley hate? The Flames have easily the worst roster on paper in the entire league yet are 25th overall while suffering significant injuries to very important players. The team through the first 30% of the season has been prett fun to watch which is a surprise to most I would think?
People think Sven is being mistreated? I think Sven has basically sucked all year. He was garbage in Penticton and has only shown a few flashes of what he can be this year. None of us know what is going on in the locker room but my guess as to why a guy like Colborne is getting a better opportunity than Backlund is because he is a harder worker off the ice and not necessarily in the gym but perhaps with video and the coaches?
I don't think there is a coach that could get this team in a much better spot than Bob has them in. If you listen to the recent comments from Burke and Feaster they would agree
