Hartley and the Jack Adams Award

[stemit14]

Forgetting the injuries and the expectations from everyone else this year... Just consider what Hartley has accomplished with a salary floor team. I don't think any other team with a payroll as low as the flames did as well as they did this season.

This team was pegged as a contender for the 1st overall draft pick by virtually everyone at the start of the season. What Hartley has done this year is simply amazing. I can't see how he doesn't get the Jack Adams now that we've made the playoffs.

As stated in previous posts, no coach did more with less than Bob Hartley did. Almost every pundit said the Flames would finish bottom three, and they will end up with at least 97 points and in a playoff position for the first time in six seasons.

This is a no brainer in my albeit biased opinion...

Fwiw Friedman on 960 just said he thinks it will be a neck and neck vote between Hartley the and Maurice

WE won season series with the Jets (easily).

Bob is the one and only.

I loved Hartley on the Fan 960 this morning. He admitted that they will likely rest some injured players or guys with bumps and bruises and take a younger crew to the game in Winnipeg on Saturday.

But then he adds - make no mistake we are going there to win, we are not going there to be tourists.

He always sets the right tone.

Also I can't recall every hearing an NHL coach being so appreciative of the fans and acknowledging the special relationship between the fans and this Flames team. just great stuff!
