So far this season I've seen the Flames lock it down, open it up and play a suffocating forecheck game all in the same period!

To be fair to Hartley, he usually had a roster of Smurfs to work with. If he had tried to make them lock it down, or worse, play a suffocating forecheck, the sheer epic magnitude of failure would have been hilarious. This year's team has added Tkachuk, Brouwer, Chiasson, and Hathaway, which is a pretty big increase in the beef department.
