I agree Vancouver wouldn't offer Bob Hartely a job right now whatever point that proves.

I guess what I meant is, yes, players and coaches get up for "rivalry games" but at the end of the day the ice is their job and off ice they are normal people. Not sure why people are shocked that Gulutzen is shaking hands with a guy he used to coach and is friends with. He doesn't have to "hate" bieksa in real life just because he might want to kick his ass on the ice.
