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.

Reading what neutral fans said on the internet about the incident is where I got my impression that most are against Tkachuk on this.

You're right I didn't do a scientific poll on the subject.

You are free to disagree with my assessment, but Tkachuk is an agitator, and agitators are generally disliked so I figure this would kind of be an accepted conclusion even by fans of Tkachuk.
