I thought Hartley's system was a great plan for an up-tempo, entertaining game that played to the strengths on the backend. It worked for a year (some may argue despite itself but I won't ) That was the most fun season of Flames hockey in years.
The problem is he didn't adapt as other teams adjusted, not to mention it had inherent flaws that were exposed when there was less team buy in.
