Maginator Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Although touted as a tough guy, I always thought Sestito had some silky mitts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Fortunately, I was at that game. I remember hearing about the starting line ups and I was puzzled... BTW, I'm pretty sure Kevin Bieksa took that draw (and now verified): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hartley was the reason for the brawl. It really is that simple imo. I realize Top Sixtito isn't "blaming" Lain - he's simply giving some back story - but nothing in that back story warrants anything resembling the absurd actions of that bent coach. Don't miss that guy at all. I find the back story of Scott Parker far more relevent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ey40 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Isn't that one of Bob Hartley's former player accused him of bullying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 So Hartley wanted to ruin Lain's first NHL game for something that happened in the AHL. I guess what happened in the AHL will give it more context, but from the sound of it Hartley is just an evil SOB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hartley is an idiot.... That said....i might take some heat for this....why did Torts have to match up his 4th line off of that opening face off? Why not just take the rational approach and put the Sedins out there. Its not like McGrattan and gang would jump the Sedins (at least I dont think so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like McGrattan and gang would jump the Sedins (at least I dont think so) Torts didn’t want to risk the Sedins getting jumped. Also, can’t rule out what the dirty Flames would do if the Sedins were out there. Torts also hated Hartley’s guts, so he probably lost his mind and wanted to kill Hartley the moment he saw the Flames starting line up. The rational approach would be throw out the Booth-Richardson-Kassian line, a gritty 3rd line that could defend themselves while likely won’t resulted into a full scrum line brawl.

I throw his name there because he was the 3rd member of that line. You can switch him up with Higgins or Weise. But that was a line that season, Booth-Richardson-Kassian Edited January 21, 2020 by ruilin96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 On a side note, I think it's funny fans are starting to come around on Torts now that former players are saying the same s*** us Torts defenders said at the time of the incident. Even back then I loved what he did. He literally was willing to fight for his players. But fans got caught up in the stories about his past and never gave him a fair shake. On top of being in denial about the team needing to move on from 2011, which at that point the team had not. Torts was far from the problem with the the problem with that team and I wish we still had him. Yeah I said it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth actually became pretty physical his last two years with us. I remember he looked like Volpatti out there throwing hits at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a translation error. Says in accurate translation "4 year suspension for being a dope". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
