It really makes no sense.... the league rescinds the penalty that would have cost $10K and a suspension, in doing so, effectively says the calls on the ice were wrong, and excessive, but then slaps Hartley with a $50K fine for playing his energy line (who was probably the best line that night), when they had just built momentum, in the dying minutes... and the Canucks get off Scott free. Unless the fine was for Bollig being sent back out, following the Melee, but the refs didn't even drop the puck before he was ejected, so how do you fine a guy for something that likely never would have happened?
