Flames' Hartley supports high-scoring games
Bob Hartley - C - Calgary Flames

Bob Hartley is a big supporter of offensive games like the Flames' 7-4 victory on Wednesday.

"I'm still a young man, but I have lots of grey hair ' that's probably the result of it," said Hartley. "But that's the way I've always coached. I understand that we're in the entertainment business at the same time as winning hockey games. I think players love to play like this, because it's a skating game, a moving game. We want to go on offence. So far the players are responding very well. And looking at the crowd ' they seem to like it." Games involving Calgary are certainly eventful. The Flames have averaged 3.00 goals per game, but they've surrendered 3.27 goals per contest.
