- Basically admitted last years success was due to getting all the bounces (so the Jack Adam's award goes to luck apparently).

- 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.

Hartley analyzing the problems on the ice is throwing the team under the bus? That's a very strange way to look at things. Isn't that what coaches do, and isn't anything you can analyze always go back to the players?
When have you ever heard a coach say, we aren't winning cause me and my assitants have been slacking it in the video room, or the issue is we aren't very good coaches. What were you expecting him to say?
The issue may very well be the coaching (although to be honest I doubt it), but not really sure how you made the leap to he threw his team under the bus.
