I think that's why you see a lot of ex players like Selanne defending Kassian on this issue.

that was not a normal hockey play, you don't leave your cover to take an unnecessary hit on an unsuspecting player and not expect a retaliation.
laughable premise. Seriously.

Every big hit is a consequence of the hittee not expected the hitter to label them. Every. Single. One.

That was a clean hockey play - there is zero rules about player not being able to go out of their zone - just cause you don't like it doesn't make it illegal.

Selanne? LOL that guy doesn't know a check unless he's getting hit
