I knew because of how it
looked that Hartley would get the fine. But the fact is, Westgarth dropped them because Bieksa stepped up to take the faceoff. Tortorella and Bieksa are equally at fault for what happend as Hartley and Westgarth are because a defenceman has no more reason to take an opening faceoff than a goon winger does.
And even then, Hartley really only got fined because Bieksa is a coward.
