Really looks like Hartley threw his team under the bus and didn't accept any of the blame.
- Basically admitted last years success was due to getting all the bounces (so the Jack Adam's award goes to luck apparently).
- Blames Face-offs as the biggest reason for the atrocious PK instead of his system. They might be an issue but there are much bigger fish to fry.
- Blames gap control on forwards not having good puck possession. Isn't the system supposed to dictate when forwards hold onto the puck and when the dump it in?
Not sure why there's still such a love fest for this guy.
