Nah. I think both Kassian and Tkachuk are idiots.
I've also talked numerous times in different discussions about how I don't like it when a player charges an opponent that is engaged with another player in a scrum like situation.
Nothing in the fan rule book says you have to be a hypocrite.
You don't have to love every guy on the team you support, and you don't have to blindly support their actions.
I still see Canucks fans defending the Bertuzzi incident and I think that's sad.
If I were a Flames fan I'd be happy to have Tkachuk on the team. That's because he's an elite forward and you can't just go out and get a new one from the elite forward supermarket, unless you are the Rangers. At the same time I'd still think he plays like an idiot and I'd be rooting for him to turn down the antics.
Good sportsmanship is important to me so I respect the players that exhibit it more, and the ones that don't less.
Obviously everyone doesn't feel the same, but that's the side of the line I'm on.
