No, Bieksa's cowardly turtling cost Harltey $25k.
EDIT: "unwilling opponent" my a$$. The other irony: Lain probably would have been happy to fight Westgrath. If he did and a line brawl still ensued, then no fine? Logic does not seem to be one of the NHL's strong suits on this one. They just seem to want it to seem more "fair". Hartley is absolutely being fined for starting the 4th line. Don't anyone kid themselves.
