To Chucky's credit though it almost worked. Such a fun player to have on this team.
That's all it was....and usually will be moving forward.
Tkachuk, god bless him, is already one of the biggest ship disturbers in the league. As such it will be few and far between that he gets the benefit of the doubt on a play like the one with Subban. At best they both would have gone as the league (officials included) is fully aware of MT's antics.
Pretty rare to see a guy with that kind of jam AND skill level that could take him to elite winger status before all is said and done.
It's really really early in his career, but he already reminds me of a young Iginla. That says a LOT.
the one that pissed me off was in the first few minutes.
Bouma got 2 minutes for knocking the stick out of a guy's hand who was loosely holding it with only one hand, and the stick wasn't broken, just dropped.
Then, shortly after the 2 minutes expired, Buff grabbed Tkachuk's stick and pulled it out of his hands (which is more flagrant, IMO) and then Buff lassoed him, and then to top it off, wrapped his arm around Tkachuk's head and pulled him down backwards in a full calf-roping move.
No penalty.
Pretty sure I recall a ref standing there 2 feet away watching the play unfold.
Seemed like an innocent error to me.
