I've been a supporter of Hartley and the results he has been able to achieve to this point, but IMHO his strong side is focused on team culture, work ethic and intangibles. His game decisions (line-ups, scratches, PP/PK schemes) this year have been so questionable, it's hard not to think of him as a one trick pony.
Your average Flames fan can sit down for 5 minutes and put together a completely reasonable list of 15 things Hartley has done this year that make no sense at all not only in theory, but in terms of the results he's achieved from those decisions.
It kind of is like he got hit on the head at a charity softball game and lost it.
