Also in the equation are Gelinas and Cloutier. Preston, Playfair and Lowry all took heat for their specific roles (powerplay, coaching the defense etc) when those teams were struggling...the assistants under Hartley aren't facing the same (at least CP) scrutiny.
Maybe off topic a bit, but would be interesting to hear Burke chime in at some point about the state of the team; maybe not the coaches, but some pointed words at the players and general state of affairs. Can't imagine he's taking watching this team fumble around night after night, gently.
