I don't see anything wrong with armchair GMing. People should enjoy that side of the sport if they want. Seems like a valid thing to enjoy. It wasn't meant as an attack.
Anyways, if you enjoy winning in the playoffs, that's another reason to remember Hartley's time fondly. He actually won a round, which is a rare occurrence for the Flames.
I also understand if Jiri didn't like him because he was a bully. Fair reason not to have liked him. Suggesting fans of Hartley just have rose tinted glasses because the exciting hockey and playoffs round 1 win that actually happened under him wasn't sustainable doesn't make much sense to me though. Even if not sustainable, at least it actually happened.
