"I remember being in the dressing room, and we hashed it out one day as players. The room was divided. [Hartley] had said something in a meeting during video. He attacked six or seven of the bottom-six guys, bottom [defencemen], and we came in and I was like 'that can't happen, our teams divided. He can't treat this half of the room one way, and the other half another way.' I said it to Bob, too, but Bob didn't listen to players." Stajan said.
He went on to add, "Everybody started realizing what he was doing. And this is right after we had success the year before. We made the playoffs, we were a good group. Once you could start seeing a little divide, we had that meeting and were like 'we can all hate the coach, we all gotta stay together.' Once we had that hash out in our dressing room, all the guys he was treating well started seeing how he was treating everyone else. Then you really start to see that this guy's a dick."
