How many standing ovations did Hartley’s teams get after a loss in his 3/4 crappy seasons? Hardly any. This is just rewriting history. We understood the losses, but they weren’t moral victories at all. A lot were blowouts.
Playing well later in the first year of the rebuild? 7-13 in March, losing 4-1 and 8-2 to the Oilers and 5-2 and 4-1 to the Canucks? Unless I’m getting you wrong and you meant 13-14. There, they did improve, but they still weren’t playing good hockey.
