You're not hurting the Detroit player. You're not sending a message.
Kulak should be the one being lauded by you guys. He fought a guy much bigger than him and didn't back down. Tkachuk didn't show anything to me. Certainly not standing up for his teammates. It was a selfish thing to do that lead to Harmonic getting pummelled.

Hides?
Tkachuk doesn't hide behind Frolik. He gives buddy a tap then goes to the boards then fully skates into the Detroit players and engages.
He was totally sending a message. The message was "We don't like what you did to Kulak and we won't just let it go." I loved it. Good on him.
And Harmonic...err Hamonic is the one that dropped his gloves with Mantha first. Hamonic wanted a piece after what happened to Kulak as well. It was unfortunate that he fell through the bench door, but it certainly wasn't Matthews fault that that happened.
Again, good on Matthew for dragging his team into that scrum. It was totally warranted IMO.
