If Hartley has been saying all year, that whoever wins gets the chance to take the ball and run with it, then that game against the canucks speaks volumes of his performance. After he gives an outing like that, if you're Hartley I'd almost say you owe him another start at least. He's earned it. If a goaltender wins you a game where you're heavily outshot (with numerous quality scoring chances to boot) you ride the hot hand. Also improves competition and gets the other two netminders motivated.
