[QUOTE=Yrebmi;6541246]I should feel that way. I mean, it's only logical. I have never met any of the players and none of them know who I am.
As fans we become emotionally attached to a team. We learn their names, follow their progress, surge with their victories, and suffer from defeats. I find I do care. I want to believe they are all living the dream, not just being well compensated to suffer for my amusement. I want to think of the coach as a teacher or mentor and not a tormentor.[/QUOTE]
so do I, but for kids under the age of 18. I don't care if pro players hate the coach or their jobs. suck it up like everyone else does.
besides, they're not getting paid millions to suffer for your amusement, but they're getting paid to play hockey at a high level. preferably winning while doing do.
while I suppose it would be nice for everyone to love their coach, not once do I give it a second thought if they do.
Hartley gave the flames what they needed at the time and likely would have had more success his last year if his goalies didn't suck so bad.
