Everybody knows that these rosters and expectations are quite different

LOL...took me about 2 minutes but thanks.
Hartley changed the culture so much that he missed the playoffs 3 of his 4 seasons, had players openly rebelling against him and was fired for it.
But OK.
The above are nothing but what the results have been between the 2 guys to this point...no more and no less.
I just do not understand why Ward is getting completely dumped on when his record really isnt that bad overall and particularly after the circumstances he inherited.
I know what i dont know. And I dont know how good or bad or whatever Geoff Ward is a HC in the NHL because he just hasnt had enough time to prove it one way or the other, and I think is completely overlooked...has never had a full training camp with his players. A LOT of work between player/coach happens during those times.
Maybe he is the worst coach in hockey history, maybe he is the best...who knows? Nobody does because he hast had time to show us one way or the other but his results thus far are not that bad and he deserves the chance to answer the question...no?
