You can see that rather than driving his knee into Campbell's head like he could've (basically what every Leafs fan seems to believe), you can see that Tkachuk actually not only makes sure his knee stays in the air as long as possible, but also adjusts his knee so it hits Campbell flush rather than with his knee pointed, which would've been a lot worse.
Obviously it's Tkachuk so there was some intent there, but he could've "accidentally" hit Campbell a lot worse on that play. Leafs fans making a lot outta nothing.
Even Campbell after the game said he doesn't see Tkachuk as a menace, but as a really good player.
