The whole point of my post was that I found it bizarre that a Flames fan can't understand why much of the hockey world isn't coming down on Kassian for this incident.
It's because they also don't like how Tkachuk and how he plays the game.
Clearly you know that based on your post so my comment wasn't directed at you.

But how the hell do you have a tabulating and sorting machine that tells you who is neutral and who isn't, and then takes the masses and gives you a majority supporting Kassian?
When you follow a team that has their media actively canvassing the world for views that support their paranoia? Do you think David Staples comes across a comment like Bob McKenzie's or Chris Johnson's and rushes to write an article to summarize the fact that they think the hit is clean? Or do you think he looks away because it doesn't fit his narrative, and then goes on to the next one that does?
That happens within a city and media realm and you get a pretty unproportionate view of what neutral or the masses or everyone thinks.
