It's why Hartley only had one successful season in 4 years with the Flames.

why were you not hollering for Hartley to be fired last offseason??
You are likely correct that you may not be an elite cup winning team if you aren't an upper echelon possession team. However, at the same time, teams/coaches will be productive and get into the playoffs with sub-par possession, and for many franchises that is a win in itself and an admirable result given the state of the franchise.
