Earlier on this season when Lucic dropped Sherwood with a gloved punch the fans that celebrated it far outweighed the ones that called Lucic out on those actions.
There certainly wasn't an ongoing debate on CP with strong opponents of the "code" and there wasn't any real defense of Sherwood's actions despite poking the goalie being a common hockey play that is rarely penalized.
The circling of the wagons around Tkachuk is an emotional response that wouldn't happen if this was two neutral teams involved.

You're just replying by doing the same thing.
You don't know the majority of "thought" when it came to the Lucic incident. You don't know how Calgary fans would react if it was two neutral teams.
I can guess that they'd see a horse collar for what it was though.
I've already called the hits predatory (but clean), so I get Kassian's anger. He went too far, and got suspended.
