The way I see it, for those saying that Hartley led us to bottom of the barrel in the standings, this rebuild could have gone 2 ways. It could have gone the way of the Sabres and Oilers. Extremely painful, fan interest at a low, and teams expecting to wipe the floor with you. Or, it goes the way it is now. Entertaining. Full effort. A team that regardless of our 27th place last year the entire city and media were proud of us. Now we're starting to see glimmers of light. Hartley is 100% responsible for the culture change of this team, AINEC. I thought he would be a 2 year stop gap at the most. Now I think he's the best coach we've had since D. Sutter. If he gets us near the playoffs, he will be a Jack Adam's candidate.
