This team still doesn't support the puck enough for me, especially the forwards on the breakout, so I'm not sure I like Hartley's system. It's entertaining and it doesn't bother me that much since wins aren't expected but I can see it being frustrated when it starts to matter again.

However, Hartley deserves an extension for single handidly sparking the rivalry with the Canucks. It always bothered me how over the past few seasons, the Canucks would roll in here and just toy with the Flames and the Flames would just take it. It was a really abusive relationship, like a pimp and his least favourite whore. I dont know how Brent Sugter allowed that to happen, because Darryl sure as hell would not have allowedd it. Hartley pretty much told the Canucks, "we're not your butch anymore!" And for that he deserves an extension.
