In what world does a 6'6" enforcer, who has had many pro hockey fights (sure AHL, but is there really that big of a drop off in fighters?) need protection? We're not taking about a teenager coming out of Jr.
Torts got his knickers in a twist because the Flames choose to dictate how this was going to go, and pushed him into a corner. Hartley made him look like a fool.

Hartley is getting criticized rightly so because he has a history of stuff like this
that's what the media are picking up on
Torts has a reputation of outbursts to the media but Hartley has a much poorer one for his tactics, the Marek/Wyshinski podcast tuesday covered it pretty well
