Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what change to the sequence of events would calm the bloodlust.
If Tkachuk would have fought? Well remove the rage blinders, watch the video again and see that Tkachuk didn't have a chance to square up? But we know that Tkachuk probably wouldn't have fought, he's said as much. So what if he skates a way and one of Rinaldo or Lucic answer for him? They would still call him a coward. But maybe less frothing at the mouth?
If Tkachuk was penalized or suspended?
If Kassian wasn't suspended?
If Tkachuk didn't hit him in the first place? Well okay snowflakes. Those borderline hits happen all the time in the playoffs. Tkachuk himself was leveled by Zadorov, and looked off the rest of the series.
As far as the games go, Tkachuk must laugh himself to sleep every night. He played right into his hands.
As far as the media league wide narrative about Matthew Satan Tkachuk picking on poor innocent Kassian? I'm still perplexed
