Until we have a coaching change I can't see this team playing anything remotely resembling a competitive game.

So you mean guys like:
Gaudreau
Brodie
Hamilton
Monahan
Backlund
who all had career years under Hartley?

I'd guess Gaudreau and Monahan harboured hard feelings after the benching.

I guess those feelings must have been so hard that Gaudreau must have really hated attending Bob Hartley's hockey school summery camp as a guest coach this offeason, eh?
