Kassian has had multiple suspensions for far dirtier hits then Tkachuk has ever thrown in his life. People seem to forget that in this case. Grabbing a guy from behind and pummeling a player on the ice is a dirtbag move. Not only that but when Oiler fans and these idiot former players blather on about the code, one big aspect of the code is when you're fighting and have a player vulnerable on the ice you stop throwing punches.
Kassian is also a dirtbag and likes to fight people below his weight class.
Suddenly he's reformed because the cry baby can't take a hit.
The former players clearly have no concept of the whole code thing, the media and especially the media representing Edmonton have made a$$es out of themselves over the last couple of days.
The first time Kassian hits the ice in the next game, Lucic and Rinaldo should both come over the boards, and one should stand beside McDavid and the other one beside Kassian as an implied threat.
