At least Sutter didn't hide his nature. Hartley pretended to be Mr. Genial with the press and was an a-hole to the players behind the scenes.
BTW, his first year, Hartley had a lineup with Iggy, Cammaleri, Stempniak Tanguay, Hudler, Glencross, Gio, Jaybo, Stajan, young versions of TJ Brodie and Michael Backlund, and his goalie was Kipper. Not exactly "blown up".
He managed a .438 record. 2nd worst in Flames history.

Lol. Awesome roster. 35 year old Iggy had taken the team as far as he could. His long in the tooth buddies all had to go.
He had 31 games with Iggy, it was clear what was happening that year. That is the year they blew it up.
The only C you mention is Matt Stajan. You should’ve listed Roman Cervenka, best player not in the NHL too.
Look at the next year’s roster. A murderer’s row to complement team scoring leader Jiri Hudler’s 54 point including but not limited to Joe Colborne , Lance Bouma and David Jones
You’re trying to say they didn’t blow it up? What the heck kind of history rewrite is that?
Pretty laughable, my friend. Your Hartley hate is strong. Use it.
