Interesting they saw fit to fine him here. This is different than the Comeau high stick as Comeau was trying to make a hockey play, whereas Tkachuk was basically slashing after the two were battling and he got him up high.
I'm thinking this was a message to him to stop complaining about calls.
I thought there were missed calls both ways and a few bad calls against the Flames. The worst was the delay of game on Markstrom. That official 100% let the Dallas player make the call, but the Dallas player wasn't even all that sure himself, he kind of half heartedly put his hands up asking for a call. The ref couldn't see anything.
Two bad games in a row from the zebras.
