I don't agree with that at all. The Flames were effectively 35-47 last year. That is not good. That is terrible. It would have been worse if not for a bit of a surge during mop and bucket time too. You're not going to see an earth shattering reversal of fortunes in a month's worth of games when you take an honest look at where the team was last year.
Hartley's system was a one and done style of play, especially if he was unwilling to show any ability to adapt or change. I don't see a team that isn't trying this year. I see a group going through some growing pains, learning a new system and trying to become better players.
