Not having your head down when you carry the puck into scoring position is the first lesson of contact hockey. Calling someone 'predatory' for removing the player from the puck when they are in scoring position is laughable. It was a hockey play. The whole Tkachuk was trying to hurt him angle is silly. If he wanted to hurt him, he easily could have, but instead he slowed down and hip checked him last minute, removed him from the puck, and moved into position up ice for the breakout.
