And I get that.
They were certainly predatory, but then so was Kassian jumping Tkachuk last year, and certainly his assault this year.
I'd even be open to a rule change. But the biggest issue in those hits was a player not protecting himself at all. Seems to get lost in the shuffle on this one, but a guy with a head up puts a cross check into Tkachuk skating backwards and there's nothing to see.
