only 1 of the 3 hits here clean imo, the 1st and 3rd hits were borderline, he had no intention of playing the puck.
there is no defence for the 3rd hit, left his guy to go after Kassian in a vulnerable spot.

Tkachuk has fought before, just not when it compromises his team's chances of winning. It has to be a fair trade off in skill at a time opportune to the Flames. I'm sure if the Flames have the game in hand, Tkachuk would be willing to fight a skilled player. But there are so few fair skill tradeoffs to fight with on that AHL team that it's not likely to happen. Tkachuk isn't going to play into anyone's hands. If you think that's going to happen, you haven't been paying attention.
