I don't want to be that guy, but if this really was a reoccurring problem for those guys, then I'm sure the team is actually energized by the fact that Hartley finally dealt with it instead of turning a blind eye. That can be extremely frustrating in a team dynamic.
Or, you know, they're playing the AHL Leafs.
