If Tkachuk does this while on the ice, it's maybe 1-2 games for a minor foul with dangerous intent. Spearing should never be tolerated.
Since he does it from the bench, they absolutely have to give him 5 games. It's not the act, it's the situation in which the act occurred. Players on ice engaging with players off ice leads to bench clearing brawls. You have to be strict on that kind of stuff.
Do your thing Tkachuk, but make sure you're only doing it on the ice. Enough of this stuff.
