He's also had teams that are stacked with talent. Vigneault's a fairly good coach, but he's always had the luxury of having good teams. I'll give him credit for sticking with Rick Nash when he totally sucked in the 2014 Playoffs.
As I said it before, Hartley basically turned the Flames around into a competitive team after that bench brawl with the Canucks last season. He was deserving of at least a nomination of the award for the Flames record in the second half of that season. For this season, there's no doubt he deserves to win the Jack Adams award. The way he handles his players and the media, it's number 1 class.
