Players don't just shrug that off, especially when it's someone on the winning team doing it. There would be an absolute sh**storm in the media if Calgary won and Tkachuk had done that to a Leaf. Especially if Tkachuck immeidately hid behind a ref like Muzzin did.
Absolutely friggin gutless.

Totally right. Disrespectful, potentially dangerous (although he didn't shoot it hard). Just a crap move by Muzzin. It's only glossed over because Tkachuk was on the receiving end. If the Leafs had an issue with him they should have done something about it in the game. He was right to be angry and I wish more of the Flames were.
