it's like a butterfly effect or uh, chaos theory? Hartley uh, finds a way?

Exactly. It's like those people who rued the day St. Louis left because he ended up helping to seal our fate in 2004. "If he was on our team still, we would've won for sure!" Uhhh... no. If he was on our team, EVERYTHING would have been different. Who knows, maybe it would set off a chain of events that lead us to trading away Iginla or something crazy. Same thing with the 8 game slide. Everything that came after was influenced by it, so if it wasn't there, everything would've been different. That was a character building moment the way the team responded to that adversity, who knows how it would've played out had we went .500 instead. Maybe we'd be on an 8 game losing streak now instead...
