I don't disagree with Bieksa though regarding the Tkachuk play.

Haas wasn't going for a hit given the situation, but it turned into an awkward collision because Tkachuk spun last second. I think it could have easily been a boarding penalty with a different ref, but it was a nothing play until Tkachuk puts himself into a bad position with a guy coming in on him.

But absolutely the intermission would be calling for the Flame's head if that was McDavid getting injured on the same play.
