I thought it was definitely greasy of Tkachuk, but calling for a suspension is laughable. You see these things happen all the time. Having said that, I would be fine if the NHL starts handing out penalties for that kind of thing, as long as they are consistent. There really isn't a need for those antics and getting it out of the game would be good IMO.
It's worth mentioning that Campbell was injured before any of that happened, so it's not like Tkachuk contributed to that. I think Campbell was actually being selfish for refusing to pull himself when he was clearly struggling. Tkachuk was just trying to make him frustrated on top of that.
