The turtle job was one for the ages, you gotta give Tkachuk credit for that...
Kassian's reaction and whether it was over the top is a totally different discussion..
But to say after this incident that Tkachuk is cleaning up his dirty play is comical...

Disagree I guess.
I will agree both Kassian hits were predatory. It was a huge game and Tkachuk knew exactly how to exploit Kassian.
With that being said both hits were completely within the rules of the game hence no penalty or suspension.
Besides the elbow on Doughty what else has Tkachuk done that is dirty? I can’t think of one other instance.
