Get real. Tkachuk reacted appropriately. What’s he supposed to do? Sit there and take it like a bitch? Give me a break with this “Tkachuk temper tantrum” nonsense. Some of you guys have a really poor perspective on these things. I fear our leadership shares this poor perspective.

“You disrespected me” is kind of a useless concept IMO. Muzzin accomplished exactly what he wanted, in a game where Tkachuk had taken his own liberties. Tkachuk lost his cool, just like Kassian or Doughty when Tkachuk provoked them.
How to take it? Shrug it off like it’s nothing, which it was. Get back to business. Or get mad, but don’t blame guys who didn’teven see it and were down the tunnel for not having your back.
Anything like this can be overdone. It happened with Marchand, where he got too much into the role.
