When the Calgary Flames fired head coach Bob Hartley, the fan-base was quite divided. Some people understood that Hartley wasn’t the right coach moving forward and a change was needed, while other fans were upset at their GM for firing a coach who had taken the Flames into the second round of the playoffs and was great for the development of youngsters like T.J. Brodie, and Sean Monahan.
The decision to fire Bob Hartley was a polarizing one, but even the most skeptical of Flames fans have to be somewhat mollified by the hiring of Glen Gulutzan, and particularly his press interviews since emerging as head coach of the Calgary Flames.
