Saying "I smell chocolate" is hardly bullying.
Hartley is not trying to actively ruin young players. Players like Brodie and colborne are getting massive amounts of ice time. And it seems like Moahan is coming along just fine too.

Yelling "I smell chocolate" on the bench in the middle of a game for all teammates to hear is not good coaching. You don't have to call it bullying, but it's not right.
