Popular opinion can be hyperbolic. The issue here is not what Joe Media or Bob Hockey Player thinks. The issue is the rather bewildering level of indignation that a handful of public figures have stooped to in their assessment of the situation. Labelling three legal body checks as "the most cowardly things you can do on a sheet of ice" is the very definition of melodramatic hyperbole.
No, they are and the fact that those who have played the game at the highest level agree puts you on that deserted Island...As for the hits being legal, it will be interesting to see if the league uses this incident as a catalyst for rule changes similar to what the NFL owners did...And I didn't label them, I gave my opinion...

And for a young player, Tkachuk is developing a disturbing resume of questionable conduct on the ice ...
