There was a lot of complaining when Hartley was moving Backlund throughout the lineup to start the season and the occasional benching, but what we're seeing now is that it worked and there's no denying that.
Backlund's improvement can't all be attributed to Hartley but a lot of it has to.
Just heard an interview with Hartley where he also mentioned that Backlund was the fittest Flame at camp which I didn't know.
I have no issues whatsoever with Hartley as the head coach. I think he's doing a great job with this roster and he's doing a fine job developing the kids.
