Is distaste for Hartley really at an all time high? Or is this a personal feeling projected? I thought a lot of the fans liked him, I know they did early in the year. Why would fans dislike him? Cause of a recent slump that should have been expected earlier anyway? The team has a reputation around the league already for working hard and may have the worst roster in the league.
We expected this. It's a rebuild. Less than half a year in. Let me repeat this. Less than half a year in. Why would we even be discussing making a coaching change?
Like Tranny I am worried that the loss of Feaster means Hartley will be leaving eventually, as the new GM will probably want 'his' guy. Shoot, Burke might even pull the trigger before that. But I hope he stays. I think he's been great in Calgary so far. And even if he's only been average, shouldn't we keep a little bit of stability for a while anyway? Do we really want the coaching carousel the Oilers have? Coaches lose the room immediately cause the kids know they have no power.
