People may hate tkachuk's personality and subtle chirpy antics but do you ever see him doing the kind of things kassian did last night? Nope.
Those hits are a part of the game. Was kassian a target? Yeah, clearly. But is being targeted with legal physicality wrong? Not at all, also part of the game. Tkachuk played within the confines of the rules. Kassian didn't, simply because he was getting embarrassed in that regard. That's his own fault though. Listen to your coach, take a number. Work on not being such a big damn easy target out there. Dont just go assault a guy and then follow it up with publicly hinting that you'll do it again. That's just pure stupidity.
