To the people defending Hartley and saying that the defensive, offensive and goaltending issues aren't his fault and that is on the players.... What is a coach responsible for exactly? If he's not responsible for the offense, defense or goaltending then what's Hartley's purpose?
Seems like if you take away those struggles, all he has done is developed a system that is easily defended against by putting bodies in the neutral zone and the league worst special teams...
I can't think of anything positive that he is contributing to this team at this point. Even his track record with our young players is hit and miss.
