What purpose exactly does this post serve? Whether you like them or not Moon and Puckluck aren't here to defend themselves so nice job kicking former posters when they are down and out.
I'll admit I was totally wrong in my initial assessment of Hartley but that initial season was just awful. Worst Flames team since the young guns era and there was the stink of nepotism with the hire from the start not to mention the bungled ROR offer making the season worse than it had to be.
However things worked themselves out over the next season as the old core was moved, Burke was hired and Feaster was let go. That chain of events has simply worked for this franchise as you have to question if the team would be where it is today if Feaster was kept on as there was obviously some disconnect there between coach and GM with Baertschi seeing the day Feaster was fired Sven finally got sent down. Burke gave him the vote of confidence and from that day on Hartley did things his way. Hartley's done a magnificent job this season and is my pick for the Jack Adams.
