You'd think if that were true this would be a more common occurrence. I'd say it's far more likely that Hartley told them not to let the Flames get pushed around, considering Vancouver's penchant for dirty play over the past week.

This is the big thing, the Canucks had been playing some ugly hockey, they were frustrated and they'd been playing pretty dirty hockey for the last little while. Maybe Hartley said there was no way he was going to put his first line out there with Torts getting the lineup sheet first.
Personally this whole thing is on Torts the blowhard, hope he enjoys his time off. I feel sorry for Edmonton tonight, they might be facing a frustrated Canucks team.
