I have a feeling the NHL wants to market the animosity and intensity, but the next Battle of Alberta has a Bertuzzi vs Moore vibe all over it. That's not a good thing.
Edmonton fans / media seem to be insanely outraged and want more vengeance. Kassian has publically stated he wants revenge. Kassian has no problem suckerpunching defenseless players in the back the of head. The NHL barely cares that he does this.
The NHL should be trying to de-escalate the situation and remove this buffoonery from the game. Instead they remain happy to be carnies catering to this sideshow. Its embarassing and people are gonna get hurt.
