Right, but that's deserving of a fine?
I just don't agree with the Hartley "responsibility"
He's basically daring Torts to match lines or deploy his scoring lines and bag one early. Tortorella is too stupid to understand that other teams don't just sent "idiots" out to fight non-4th liners. This is all on John. He can't even coach for matchups anymore. If anything, Hartley's lineup was strictly strategy, Tortorella never intended to put the sisters out.
