I fully support Hartley starting the 4th line. That sawed off want to be big man Torts did not have to respond with his fighters but he did. Grats and Wesgarth would not have forced the Sedins or any other non fighter to throw down. Enforcers are not like that they would look like asses around the league forcing a Sedin kind of player into a fight and therefore wouldn't do it. The puck would have dropped and nothing more would have taken place other than Hartley getting the 4th line off the ice after the opening shift.
Torts bit because He is weak minded.
Just ask yourself this 1 question if a team playing their 4th line ices the puck. Does a smart coach put out their 4th line also? No they immediately put out their 1st or 2nd line to create a skill and speed miss match in their favor.
Torts decided to not be smart and instead chose what he chose.
The fact he tried to storm the Flames dressing room just further shows to what level of a hot headed goof he really is.
