Hartley doesn't seem to coach emotionally but he just notices weaknesses and then works on them in practice without ripping anyone or losing his cool.

Brent Sutter used the old stye coaching of screaming and kicking garbage cans. It was an outdated style of coaching that players no longer respond to. Tortorella was guilty of the same and only lasted a year in Vancouver.
Hartley to his credit changed his style of coaching and found better ways to motivate and get the best out of his players.
