Hartley did a great job coaching last season, but is making bad choices most games this season.

1) Continues to play Wideman far too many minutes. Personally I would place him on waivers and bring up Nakladah and actually play him for at least 5 games. There is a 0% chance of Wideman getting claimed and it would be wonderful if he did. I truly believe his wide shot and total lack of mobility and speed has been one of the biggest factors in our poor pp performance this year.

2) This team does not have faith in Hiller and and never will as they know that he can rarely make a big save. As a result they are reluctant to go on the offensive and will continue to do poorly when Ramo is not playing. His performance in Edmonton was better than normal, but I believe we win that game and tonight's game with Ramo. Any more than 2 or 3 games over the remainder of the season is too much.

Colborne should not play on the pp and should be relegated to the 4th line.

Hudler needs to sit until he is completely healed as he appears to be still injured. Jooris needs to play ahead of Raymond and Stajan. As much as I like Stajan his face offs have been poor lately and I believe Jooris adds more to the team.
