I’m so happy the NHL hasn’t fallen into the hysteria the media has. Ray Ferraro comparing that to Raffi Torres is a joke, though Ray is a joke himself.

The thing that proves the bias to me is even if the Tkachuk hit was dirty, the media is making it seem like it's either Tkachuk is bad, or Kassian is bad. Completely ignoring that it's possible for it be both.
They focus on the anti-Tkachuk narrative completely ignoring that it still wouldn't even come close to excusing Kassian's outburst
