As with any locker room there will be players that don't like the coach. As long as the team leaders are on the same page as the head coach that's the important thing as we saw in Calgary where Iginla wasn't on the same page as Playfair or Brent while Regehr and Kipper weren't fans of Keenan and really none of those coaches had as much success as they should have with those rosters. I don't believe Hartley was fired because of the players. I believe he was ultimately fired because of the poor special teams, poor defensive play and posession.
