The level of butthurt in the hockey world right now is incredible and shows there is a severe lack of logic within the sport and how many perceive and apply their definitions of honor, the code, and all of that vague stuff.
Almost everyone is now acknowledging the hits were legal. Even Kassian had an interview today where he said that's fine, the hits were legal, he doesn't mind being hit. He went on to say that Tkchuck needs to answer the bell. So basically the hockey world is saying that legal hockey hits need to be followed up with a fight, particularly if you are an agitator. Can any of these people define which clean hits don't require a fight, versus which clean hits do?
