Everyone knew the Flames were going to lose a lot this year. It's been, dare I say, refreshing that they've at least been losing the right way. They've worked hard, they've been honest, they've been competitive and they've protected each other (except for the Ferrence thing). The team is now setting the foundation for the future by installing the right attitude. As more talent is injected into the group the coaches need to work to maintain the attitude that they've worked to establish so that we can avoid the perpetual rebuilding of Edmonton, Florida and Brooklyn.
The Flames aren't anywhere close to a playoff spot but even so, Hartley deserves a lot of credit for making what was going to be a really painful season a little less painful.
