This is most baffling to me: A suspension for what, exactly?
Take another look at all three of Tkachuk's hits on Kaveman...
· Did he charge? No. Each and every time Tkachuk caught Kassian either in the chest or shoulder.
· Did he target the head? No. As mentioned, each time he hit him in the torso. The first hit caught Kassian in a vulnerable position, but only because the idiot's head was already level with his waist for some reason.
· Were the hits late? No. Kassian still had the puck each time.
The calls for penalization are simply idiotic. Tkachuk is a world class hockey player with a world class hockey IQ.
