The thing is that in any sport, all these scrums that occur and fighting in general wouldn't be allowed.
Hockey is played under a definitely atmosphere when it comes to violence and physicality. Altercations after the whistle aren't frowned upon at all. So comparing what other sports would do in this situation is like comparing apple to oranges.
In the hockey world, this would've never be a lengthy suspension, and it shouldn't be. Tkachuk walked away just fine, and we know that the NHL makes this punishment based on results rather than merit. Since Chucky is healthy, this was just a punishment to deter from doing it often.
