Not at all.
I think a large reason they were doing that tonight was because Bollig was not dressed for this one. I have to think that with their worst hockey playing forward out of the lineup it gave Hartley a lot more confidence to roll all lines and spread out the minutes more, since he didn't have to protect the minutes of a facepuncher who is rarely that effective aside from the fisticuffs.
