Except our player is good, and their's barely makes any of the rosters in the NHL. Doesn't make either totally clean, and I guess technically he
is on their 1st line"snicker". But the difference in out-rage between here and there, especially since Kassian IS the bad guy here. Not because he's no good. But that was a vicious attack on a legal play.
Tkachuk: Violent Hockey
Kassian: Something you do during "The Purge".
