Hartley got fired because: he wasn’t Treliving’s choice and was only extended because of the Jack Adams; the players hated him; and Corsi evened out from the previous year. And Hiller’s goaltending wasn’t as good (but Ramo hardly changed at all as cars as save% goes, and he still dropped games).

Here’s a question: How did Hartley get the 2nd worst winning percentage in Flames history with a team that had Iginla, Cammaleri, Tanguay, Stempniak, Hudler, Glencross, Wideman, Gio, Jaybo, Backlund, Brodie, and Kipper? Did he not motivate them?

This has been mentioned before and it was confirmed by a buddy of mine whose son worked with the Flames, Gaudreau and Monahan weren't going to re-sign if Hartley remained coach.
