IMO, Hartley was pretty smart to put out his energy line up front to start the game. Torts over-reacted and we get an over-sensationalized, good old fashion brawl. Thing is, the Battle of Alberta sucks nowadays. The only emotion the Flames get is from from the diving team out in the west coast.
Just for playing the 4th line against the Nucks first line, I'd give Hartley a 10 year extension!
