Hartley demands a lot from his players and does not suffer fools gladly. Yet he seems to have a good relationship with his players, has their respect and can still laugh with them too.
What has impressed me most is his ability to bring along most of the youth core (Backlund, Brodie, Colborne, Monohan, Gaudreau, Granlund and Jooris).
Would be good to see him get a renewal.
Plus when talking to the press he gives the best analogies in the NHL!
