Johnny attended his hockey camp as a guest counsellor after he was fired and spoke nicely of him
It was mentioned by someone here with connection to the team that the kids liked Hartley and the veterans hated him
Sarich said Bob wouldn’t let them pass backwards, and that after he had been scratched 11 games and had some beers, Hartley dressed him to show him up. A proud and bitter guy on the back 9
I guess it was the opposite of when he scratched Johnny, Monny and Bouma after the super bowl
So we have found out that the coach who was brought in to clean up the country club, instill work ethic and accountability turned out to be demanding.

If this is what Hartley was charged with doing in Calgary, then it is fair to say that he failed, no?
