Jets fans targeted Hartman on Instagram, but rather than cowering in fear, he confronted the issue head-on.
From @RHartzy18's Insta Story:
Regardless of your feelings towards a player or their actions on the ice, never send messages like this.

When Hartman returns from his suspension for Game 1 of the playoffs, it is hoped that this experience will motivate him even more.
The actions of these Winnipeg fans are undoubtedly appalling.
