That's where you're getting it wrong:
Hartley wasn't fired because of the goaltending. He was fired because of his poor player utilization, resistance to change, and a need for a new voice in the room.
You're right: goaltending was out of his control this year. But there were so many other variables that
were in his grasp which he controlled poorly. That's what led to his firing.
