Bob Hartley is a piece of shit, and if there's one thing hockey doesn't need, its staged fighting. Putting out the 4th line to start was a classless move. I respect the way torts defended the team, even if he may have gone overboard. I think the players will appreciate how much he cares.

and if westgarth and gratton pummel the sedins even if they are unwilling to fight and leave them injured.. you guys are willing to take that chance? goons dont always think.
Sure lets throw Henrik out there who's playing on a bum hand and rib and god knows what else. Throw Burrows out there first game back from a broken jaw, throw Daniel out there who hasn't been the same since the concussion and risk getting another one.
I would put money down that Westgarth cross-checks Henrik before the puck drops
Sedins and westgarth is a mismatch and nothing would of happend .the goons would of got instigators and got booted out of the game..bieska didn't want to fight westgarth Cuz he knew it was a mismatch
Do you guys know if there is any history between Hartley and torts Posted via RS Mobile
Nobody forced Torts to start his 4th line in response.
torts starting his 4th line to match their 4th line doesnt mean the flames had to fight either. but go look at the replay, in the line brawl, the flames' players all drop their gloves first. that WAS their intention.

just like nothing happened to orpik when he didnt want to fight, or moore etc. hell even scott chased after kessel. a lot of these guys dont have common sense when they are fighting to keep a job or told to go do their job
I don't understand why Torts couldn't have just put his 2nd or 3rd lines out to start. A little more toughness than the first line, a little more skill (theoretically) than Calgary's 4th line. I understand it was a stupid move by Hartley, but Torts didn't have to take the bait.

You can't risk Kesler, kass or higgins or booth when the line up is already thin
You can't blame torts. Gotta fight fire with fire.
You also don't want to back down on home ice. I'm glad things happened the way they did. If torts put out lines 1,2,3, possibly they wouldn't have scrapped and the goons would have been free to take out canuck players in the rest of the game.
Hartley is to blame. I'm new to hockey, so I don't know all the players and history, but the way torts reacted I'd back him up any day. Posted via RS Mobile
Huge facepalm at the people saying "Torts didn't have to send out his 4th line/just send out the Sedins nothing will happen"
What the hell are you supposed to do when the Flames send out their goons? Send out our best players with the risk of them getting tossed out the entire game or have the Sedins fight (huge LOL) and possibly get injured?
Strong logic
The only way this could've been avoided was if Hartley didnt send out his 4th line in the first place. Torts had every reason to be pissed and do what he did.
plus if you look at how tame the hit that took down Henrik was, it's easy to understand why torts didn't put the 1st line out there. Despite what PJ Stock thinks. Posted via RS Mobile

people need to be reminded this is what happens when you match up goons to top line players
