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.

Even if this is the expected conclusion, I see no good reason why Flames fans or anyone should merely accept it. This response from pockets in the wider hockey world and the groundswell of support that Kassian appears to have garnered among some is patently ridiculous. It's dumb. Calling out fans, Oilers apologists and former players for being dumb is definitely the appropriate response.
