If you can easily line up the puck carrier in his own zone, you should do it.

That what I hate about the BS the Oilers are spewing. It's the antithesis of both smart hockey and physical hockey.

Why the hell should Tkachuk let a dumb-as-bricks guy like Kassian freely carry the puck out of the zone, and why does the fact that he already got Kassian once affect that at all? Quite the opposite, after that second hit his coach should be laying into him for being a dumb player that repeatedly gets laid out in exactly the same way, while carrying the puck.

If I see a Flame repeatedly lose the puck in his own zone, I'm blaming him for playing like s###. But because the Oilers are special snowflakes who think anything the opposition does is somehow cheating they're up in arms about "what Tkachuk did" instead of asking WTF is Kassian doing in their top 6?

Kassian is just trying to get away with playing like s### by being big and scary and legit dangerous, instead of playing like an actual pro athlete.

Git gud or gtfo. Don't blame the opposition for taking advantage of you sucking. You can't protect the puck with your fists.
