Overall I understand the fine for Hartley, he knew what he was doing...but it's a fine line.
On one of my original points is that Westgarth only took the faceoff due to the serious mismatch between Jones and Lain. If Torts wants to learn about protecting his players, he should talk to Westgarth. Why leave Jones in there when the other guy is not only way bigger but already has a history with him?

Has anyone from the media talking heads ever talked about this?
