I am relaying what I have heard media and NHL types say. They want to get rid of these types of fights, Westgarth dropped his gloves a half second after the puck was dropped and NHL/media think by /suspending coaches they can possibly curb these types of fights.
Therefore I expect Hartley gets fined and based on previous comments that fits with what the league wants so the fine would be justified.

Then why would Hartley be fined if Bieksa took the faceoff? The NHL and Shanahan know what that symbolizes which is why you and Resolute will be proven wrong on Monday. Hartley did nothing wrong. It was Vancouver who started the whole thing with having Bieksa take the faceoff. If he doesn't do that it's probably a one on one fight or two on two fight.
