Kassian attacked Tkachuk for face-washing McDavid and that is when the whole turtle thing started which made no sense to me.

I admit what Tkachuk did in the last game warrants the turtle talk a little more because he targeted Kassian with huge hits and didn’t answer the bell (even though he was attacked and not squared up).

I honestly think Drai needs to be the guy to stand up and fight Tkachuk.

You are forgetting that the McDavid face wash was an immediate reaction to McDavid wrestling Backlund to the ice for yup, another non penalized and clean hit.

Basically you aren’t allowed to hit Oilers.

So after that face wash, Kassian attacked Tkachuck off a faceoff getting free punches in. How Kassian didn’t get a suspension for THAT incident is beyond me. Kassian didn’t even get hit that game. Of course Tkachuk has an axe to grind with him and that’s why he hit him 3 times.
