Hartley - The answers are in the room [regarding trade question]
Calgary Flames @NHLFlames26m
"Solutions are within our locker room. We can't find solutions anywhere else." - Hartley
The answers are NOT in the room! Have some intellectual honesty!
Getting so sick of this franchise. As soon as we signed Begin I knew this team was heading in the wrong direction. Not necessarily because of Begin but because the philosophy of the team hasn't changed at all. Bring in old bums and let our AHLers rot.

I think the trick is to be a constructive team, rather than criticize.
Darryl Sutter is a master of this coaching style. He can maximize players abilities within a specific system and blend lines like few other coaches can.
The answers are that it has to be an organizational move. Hartley is getting more than Sutter was ever willing to get from Stajan and Bouwmeester.
He's a good coach to have for trading players. Feaster needs to sell high if he can. Detroit could use Bouwmeester, for sure. Move Stempniak for a 2nd.
"Yeah well ya know, we're basically terrible so I told Jarome to mail it in the rest of the way. We should just trade these bums and I'll keep coming to the rink ... Oh yeah and I guess I'll coach."
Would that have been better? He's the coach... He doesn't trade people, he coaches what management gives him. The guys script is pretty straightforward, as it should be.

Or how about calling out a few players while throwing a tirade?
I would love for him to call out the players while throwing a tantrum.
Enough of this "stay positive" BS. This isn't intramurals.
He's french right? You know how things are always backwards in the french language.... well maybe that was the french way of saying "the problems are in the room"

Wow, a thread for this? What do you expect Hartley to say? The answer is not in the room? We have to tear this down? I quit?
Sure, if Feaster said this, then you could have a valid argument. At the very least Hartley is just doing his best to, you know.. try and coach. What do you expect him to do now? Quit?

Well, deal with it. I wasn't cheering for Canada either way. Nothing worse than arrogant Canadian fans. They'd be lucky to finish 4th. Quote me on that. They have a bad team and that is why I won't be cheering for them.

Maybe something along the lines of this

Fair enough. Feaster should stay in hiding then and let Hartley take the heat.
